A compass rose. In the Eiffel Tower, Beelzebub tries to build a compass. As a baseplate he uses a piece of wood, on which he sticks the north pike of a compass rose. On the south pike he balances a ladle, which is supposed to adjust itself to earth's magnetic field.
Ai Weiwei (未) caught eight vermilion flycatchers (朱) for his new art project and brought them to the space station, but they escaped. In front of the space station (Ø1) they are hiding in the Julian Giant Squid's (zhu) arms. Julian Giant Squid's and the birds' colors match really well so Ai Weiwei cannot see the birds, but Ai Weiwei lures them with a banana (丿) and finally one of the birds flies to the banana, bringing attention to the others as well.
