Just as the bird weakens under the wax, suffering the drama of the human perspective vicariously, so human motor skills harden under the wax, and humans freeze into lifeless wax figures that can no longer communicate anything, although they wanted to communicate so much. Humans and birds as partners/parts of an anthropomorphic sculpture, sculpture (the fine arts) as the freezing of visual expressiveness (of human communication) demonstrate the tragedy of human communication in the tensions between the materials: bird (symbol of imagination and freedom), wax (symbol of lifelessness), human, and in the tensions between the forms (movement and freezing).
