This performance thinks about the relationship of the three elements (commercial objects; environments, urban species). The work criticizes human mass-producing non-biodegradable items (e.g. the toy bird) that becomes junk rapidly, ending up in landfills and oceans. This is extensively damaging the environment and threatening nonhuman life in irreversible ways, e.g affecting marine life and oceans; creating toxic gases through incineration; disrupting natural water flow and drainage; contamination of soil and harm to terrestrial animals; habitat pollution and etc. (Mohanaprasadh et al., 2022, pp.345-363). Like the reaction of the pigeons in the performance, the affected nonhuman beings and nature is experiencing worser circumstances.
