Goodbye Icarus is a graphic novel printed and published in Providence, USA, at the end of 2023. This work navigates the tension between possibilities and limitations through experimental use of programming languages and book structures, aiming to bridge the gap between the digital and the physical. It examines the contemporary relevance of mythological narratives by intertwining the myths of Jingwei Filling the Sea and Icarus' Wings—two tales with similar themes but drastically different outcomes.

The book’s design pushes the boundaries of visual language through innovative programming experiments and editorial techniques. By incorporating visualizations of the interactive technology, the work seeks to expand the storytelling potential of the book format, opening new pathways for book narrative exploration.
