Concept
Sitting in a tree waiting for parrots, Monroe wears a parrot beak mask to pretend to be one of them. The background features a hill made of clothes stolen by parrots, representing a pile of clothing taken from people everywhere. The “hill of clothes” symbolizes the various tastes and styles of humanity, while also creating an absurd scene of mountains made of clothing.

About the artist
Tu Hsin-Ying
杜信穎 (1995-)，畢業於國立臺北藝術大學美術系，以壓克力顏料作為主要創作媒材。
杜信穎的創作靈感來自安迪沃荷知名的版畫作品《瑪莉蓮夢露》。不像安迪沃荷的夢露是鎂光燈的焦點、名氣的象徵，杜信穎的夢露系列更像是一齣詼諧荒謬的喜劇表演。他筆下的夢露不再是風情萬種的性感女神，而如同你我一樣必須不斷對抗生活中的麻煩瑣事，不僅會發胖、沒工作、內衣褲還會被調皮的鸚鵡偷走。
飽和的色彩、搶眼的圖像與滑稽的敘事性構成了杜信穎創作的主旋律，在這個「夢露」時空裡面，觀眾可以跟著夢露一起去荒島度假，所有生活裡的荒謬、無能為力、不夠完美都能被理解。
