The three paintings "DON'T SPEAK", "DON'T HEAR", and "DON'T SEE" are linked together by the concept of the three wise monkeys.
In "DON'T SPEAK", we see the astronaut with his hands over both his own mouth and the mouth of his inflatable flamingo. The expression on his face suggests a sense of caution or restraint, as if he knows that sometimes it's best not to say anything at all. Perhaps this painting is a reminder to think before speaking, or to consider the consequences of our words before we let them out.
