This artwork playfully and ironically explores the idea of discretion and secrecy. At the center stands a parrot – a bird known precisely for repeating everything it hears. Surrounding it is the bold statement: “I’M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THAT SHIT.”
The humor lies in the contradiction between the message and the nature of the parrot itself. While it claims not to repeat anything, that is exactly what it does best. This piece makes the viewer reflect on trust and communication: those who claim to be discreet aren’t always so.
With a sharp nod to gossip culture and the way information spreads, this artwork blends humor with a subtle commentary on social dynamics.
