"In the horizontal strip there are birds and fish equivalent to each other. We associate flying with sky, and so for each of the black birds the sky in which it is flying is formed by the four white fish which encircle it. Similarly swimming makes us think of water and therefore, the four black birds that surround a fish become the water in which it swims."
