This is not at all a good photo of my final collage but you will get the idea! This piece is about how we celebrate traditions without remembering the original purpose or context. We domesticate them, hang them on our lounge room wall and make them accessible.
You can't really see on the photo but along the bottom I have written ' We wish to advise that no animal was harmed during this celebration', indicating that the essential reason for this tradition has been eradicated! (Lucky for this little bird!) People do, however, use an effigy of the wren instead of the real thing.
