This piece is in reaction to the poem, The Conference of the Birds and specifically the part of the poem where the birds are coming up with excuses not to go on the journey.  Intentionally I assume, the author made the birds seem like real people.  As we discussed in class, the birds that refuse to go on the journey’s excuses come up with excuses that human people would likely come up with and they represent the some of the vices and sins of humans.  I chose to paste heads of birds onto bodies of scantily clad people to emphasize the sins of the people.  I pasted them together in a collage to put them in a collection around like they are in the poem.
