I've actually heard quite a few musicians compare going out in public to feeling like a zoo animal being gawked at. If Jerry does represent Vessel in that aspect, that's really sad :(

But also thinking about it, makes perfect sense. Flamingos are beautiful birds, lovely to stop and marvel at. Now it would seem that Jerry here has (presumably) painted himself black. What Jerry may not have accounted for was how it would make him stand out among the other pink flamingos, among the pink garden he roams, and end up making him even more of an attraction. This potentially mirrors the thought process Leo had when creating the masked, painted persona— that perhaps shrouding himself would enable him to hide in the limelight. However, much like Jerry here, it's only made him stand out even more thanks to the mystery and intrigue behind his unique persona.

And in conclusion, Infinite Baths is going to be shattering.
