Artworks / La libertà non è star sopra un albero

FREEDOM DOES NOT MEAN TO STAY ON A TREE
This is the sad story of a canary that has been bought for his melodious talent. Suddenly his melodious gift disappears and to satisfy his owner the canary tries to be a painter. Perhaps due to its captivity, the poor outside landscape or a scarce talent for painting, the canary fails in his new painting endeavour. The irritated owner does not know what to do with the bird and thus decides to free him.
The poor canary ,who has only experienced his cage in his life, becomes very sad and does not feel able to cope in the outside world. First he gets drunk and swallows many pills and then he sets a noose in front of the tree that he had longed for and dies in the snow in a freezing winter.
