Text from “The Pearl Divers dream exhibition”:
When she dives down to the seabed she sees many creatures; fish, anemones, eels and octopi going about their daily existence. She entertains herself with little stories of the creatures as she goes about her task.

‘Under/Over’ also has an additional third colour in the eyelids. While ‘Over/Under’ has a random green spray pattern in the background. I wanted it to look a bit messy.
