Aase Berg

Side by side

I want to be a bird

I want to be a bird. Birds are never free.
They are in complete control.

Ik wil een vogel zijn

Ik wil een vogel zijn. Vogels zijn niet vrij.
Ze hebben alles onder controle.

She knows

BLUBBER BITER –

I want to be a bird

IN REACTOR

She strikes back:

This is a threat:

My little girl steps into a room, any room,

Close

I want to be a bird

I want to be a bird. Birds are never free.
They are in complete control.
