I was able to do OcR on that, and here it is. Collaborative effort!

Alt text: When water’s temperature falls below 0°C, it undergoes Bouba to Kiki.

Pic: The picture has a diagram showing water above freezing being flowy and liquid, and below freezing being rigid and icy. Many people find the sounds Bouba and Kiki to match visually to the look of rounded and pointy shapes respectively.
