A seamingly peaceful Southern view transpires a disturbing symbolism. White doves of peace hover against a background of a blue sea of freedom. The red Soviet flag draws the beholder's eye towards the lower right through the torso of the swimmer. However, all is nothing but a setting for the crucifixion of the swimmer's body in the frontground.
