Island 2018 "Pay attention to me" Says the little bird trapped on the perfect island

"Pay attention to me!" says the little bird trapped on the perfect island

 

The bird is alone on the island. Both the bird and the island are fabulous displaying many colours. The island has water and green grass. Surrounding the bird are fans, and they fan it as it dances and sings "attention!" in every direction. This makes it cool. It seems to symbolises the freedom of expression.

But it is just an automaton, a toy controlled via the antanne on its head or its by pedestal. It is a decoy of nationalism and hidden powers; of false optimism. It has blinders on like a hawk. It cannot escape, it is on an island and is surrounded by spinning blades. It is trapped. "A tension" it sings "A tension".

A tension...
