This work focuses on a penguin, with a real sign around its neck that reads: DO NOT FEED ME DUTCH BITTERBALLS. The background is filled with repeating letters PLEASE, emphasizing the animal’s plea. The artwork reflects on the tragic news of a penguin in Maastricht who died, a victim of human lack of understanding and empathy. With a mix of humor and critique, the work encourages reflection on how we treat animals and the consequences of our actions, even in seemingly innocent situations. A visual warning that carries both sadness and absurdity.
