While this is not a wow photo or technically perfect I can see why you took it and I appreciate that. You might want to clean your sensor though, I see a lot of dust. You could clone it out too.

Might be mightier than the sword but I don't see this as disassembled.
DNMC IMO sorry nice image though

I think I get where your going with this one but I'm not feeling the disassembled thing here.

Just having a little tip of the sword on the left isn't working for me. I wish that whole space was empty. Am also struggling to see how this is disassembled.

Where's the disassembly? Otherwise nice.

I'm not sure I get a strong relationship to the topic. I think you're trying to touch it on a purely conceptual level, so I won't ding you down too much. As far as the shot goes, the most prominent feature is the date, and not the tip of the feather pen (as I suspect it should be). Some sharper DOF might help. I think if you were to crop this to remove the knife (sword reference), it would still hold the same power, but be more formally beautiful.

I don't mind the motion blur in the wings but I wish the head was sharper and showed some detail. It looks very dark on my screen.

i like that i recognized that the 13 was one of the 13 balls. I'm not so sure i like vibrant colors forced into black and white, though someone else black and whited their strawberries, so perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about.
