Icaria is a figure, belonging to a private gallery of heroes that do not exist in mythology but were invented by the artist, alongside Dea Roma (goddess of Rome) or the Gorgon hunters. Interpreted as the sister or wife of Icarus.

Ikaria is a female figure, headless, but possessing wings. She is shorter than Icarus, her right foot is held by a foreign hand. Attached to her left ankle is a female figure without arms, head or legs. In Ikaria's torso and wings, the artist has placed the foot of a cage and in it fragments of male heads, an example of the displacement often used by Igor within a single work. In the bosom of Ikaria is Medusa, or the mythological Gorgon. The sculpture's silhouette is dominated by huge wings.

In la Défense, Ikaria and Icarus are positioned opposite each other, dialoguing. Imprisoned in the modern quarter of Paris like Daedalus and Icarus on Crete by Minos, they symbolise the desire of its inhabitants to escape from the glassy, dehumanised architecture.

In Poland, another version of 'Icarus' (1996) is in a private collection.
