I chose this image because I think it's brilliant. It's evident how Escher utilizes a simple shape and creates a unique pattern out of them by fitting the shapes together in a tessellation. Yet what is really unique about this image is the way that Escher morphs the shapes on the bottom- the fish- seamlessly into the birds on the top of the drawing. Although the image is two dimensional and there is no shading or color, Escher still creates a complex and intriguing piece from the simple silhouettes of fish and birds.
