This piece is a combination of figurative and abstraction, as I have talked about before. If the fish were just shapes, instead of clearly recognizable fish, the collage would resonate as a successful abstraction. This is what happens when figurative work is best.

Figurative, adds a richness of collective unconscious associations, to the composition, that would be absent with mere shapes.

Sometimes shapes can tap that collective unconscious as well though. Thanks for the interesting perspective. I will think about that.
