The artistic composition shows the photographed, skeletonized head of a goat in the centre of the picture. The skull is hit by jets of water that seem to bounce off. The horns, the teeth and the eye socket of the head are clearly visible. The background of the picture is black. The word -Education- is inserted calligraphically in the bottom right-hand corner of the picture. The composition of the artistic series is the same for all motifs; the shape of the water and the calligraphic lettering vary.

The surge of water coming from the left seems to swirl around the goat skull. The caligraphically written word -Health- is inserted.

Another surge of water floods the goat’s head. The word -Income- is the title of the picture. The water is artistically created in 3D in all motifs and has a very brilliant effect. The transparent overlays of water and skull result in multi-faceted color nuances.
