Viking Elements

This illustration is the culmination of several ideas and inspirations that came together after I started working on it. Originally wanting to visualize the four basic elements, symbolism from calligraphy and Viking culture came up and merged.
Interpretation is free however and I am curious to hear back what you see in this. One example I have heard already is that the image made someone think of a bird.
