Description:

An aggresive, voracious fish and a shy and vulnerable bird are the actors in this drama: such contrasting traits of character lead inevitably to the denouement.  A regular pattern floats like a ribbon in space.  Lower down, in the middle, this picturestrip is made up of fishes and birds, but a substitution of figures, there remain on the left side birds only and on the right fishes.  Out from these gradually fading extremities, one representative of each sort breaks loose - a black, devilish fish and a white bird, all innocence, but sad to say irrevocably doomed to destruction.  The fate of each is played out in the foreground.
