A humourously depicted parable for our political times: a huge bird with orange headdress grabs the ball but teeters on a tightrope above an abyss as confused onlookers look down into it. This dramatic semi-abstract composition relies primarily upon colourfully contrasted and integrated shapes for its visual impact and narrative. Although the story can change with each viewer, the visual legacy of this painting remains its vivid allure.
