Formirajući sam naziv skulpture navođenjem delova od kojih je ona konstruisana – Kišobran-papagaj-prostor-stalak, Božidar Babić posmatrača dovodi u nedoumicu šta je u stvari prikazano na skulpturi, ali istovremeno i podstiče da se pažljivije zagledamo u nju. Na način koji je to uradio još Pablo Pikaso na početku 20. veka u svom delu Glava bika, a koje je napravio kombinujući sedište i volan bicikla, i Božidar Babić konstruiše svoju skulpturu spojivši naizgled nespojive predmete i delove industrijskog otpada. Iako nastao na taj način, stvoreni oblik ima sugestivnost ptice – papagaja koji stoji na prečki, istovremeno odajući utisak slobode, ali i zarobljenosti.

Umbrella – Parrot – Space – Stand

Forming the name of the sculpture by listing the parts from which it was constructed – Umbrella-Parrot-Space-Stand, Božidar Babić confuses an observer with what is actually shown on the sculpture, but simultaneously encourages us to look more closely at it. The same way that Pablo Picasso did it at the beginning of the 20thcentury in his work Bull’s Head which he made by combining a seat and a steering wheel of a bicycle, Božidar Babić constructs his sculpture by combining seemingly incompatible objects and parts of industrial waste. Although created in this way, the form made possesses the suggestiveness of a bird – a parrot standing on a bar, at the same time emanating both the impression of freedom and captivity.
