This work in gouache is one of a series upon the theme of the four elements and represents air. The eye in the bubble is symbolic of the life force; the spirit of the universe present throughout creation; all seeing and all knowing; linked to the image of the "Green Man". The natural forms and creatures shown all rely upon the element of air for their existence. Man is also present in the work, having conquered the element through his invention of flying machines.
