Description
Composition in blue and white. Defining contour lines and colored areas. Composition representing the seabed, fish finding himself as if in a network, comprising colored background against uneven areas. All fish, except for one, are in profile to the left and distributed symmetrically. Each is inserted into the square formed by crossing diagonal lines across the area of the composition, suggesting a network. Both fish as the lines defining the network are represented by white or blue contours contrast with the background tone on which lie.
