The trailing eggs, scattered behind the salmon in delicate red dots, subtly reinforce the theme of fertility and renewal, contrasting the intense angular shapes of the fish with the soft roundness of new beginnings. This balance between sharp, assertive lines and gentle, flowing patterns creates a powerful sense of both strength and continuity.Provenance
