This picture depicts a sea bird running away from a dirty, polluted sea. The message of this drawing is that the seagulls want to escape from the ocean filled with rubbish and fly freely over the sky. In the picture, you can see a woman and man looking in different directions. It means they are turning away from the birds and fishes. Birds cannot eat contaminated fish and can no longer live. The main character of this story is not only a seagull. Just as gulls cannot survive in water-polluted waters, so goes all life, including human beings. The seagulls rising above the sky express the desire of all creatures who want to be free from ocean pollution.
