Mariana - When I was young, I saw a documentary about the deepest part of the ocean; Mariana's trench. This image of sea life has always stuck with me. In this collection, Mariana, I would like you to imagine that you are in your submarine looking through a window and discovering life in the vast ocean. As you work your way down, the background becomes darker, fading from light blues and mints to a bold black. You can see familiar faces, like horseshoe crabs and seashells, and look closely at plankton and lantern fish. The ocean is always a place of wonder and discovery, I hope you find something new and exciting with Mariana!
