A flock of parrots flies chaotically and restlessly through the space, almost like an omen. An act of rebellion against an unseen kingdom, a refusal to submit to its centre and its authority.

The parrots keep circling, never reaching their destination. They seem caught between escape and obedience, between the instinct to follow and the desire to break away.

I don’t wanna meet the King becomes a simple statement of refusal – a rejection of the encounter, of authority, and perhaps of the very existence of a final judgment.
