Two ovals depict different societies and cultures. They are so close to each other, yet so far apart. Their inhabitants try to connect, but live in their own unique worlds. Thread-like stems link the two ovals. The two sides are total opposites: flowers and fish. The flowers and fish at the bottom seem to be having a conversation, but their worlds remain divided. The border depicts the world—cold, uncaring, and self involved. Again, hoopoe birds fly in as if to help them unite to be at peace with each other.
