Diver Ascending Through a Layered Paper Sea

Tags
A lone diver ascends through a kelp forest in a layered paper-cut illustration with indigo depths and teal fronds. Thick matte paper edges and subtle fibers distinguish the overlapping cut shapes.
Looking upward from the seabed in a 9:16 portrait, the small diver crosses the lower-middle diagonally toward the upper right, while rooted kelp curves along both sides around an open central water column. One broad patch of ochre surface light fills the upper quarter.
The diver has one air tank, two arms reaching forward and two separated fins trailing behind. A short string of small air bubbles follows the upward path.
Warm light from the surface filters through translucent paper layers, fading gradually into cool navy below. The nearest kelp blades remain crisp while successive silhouettes soften in color, giving the ascent clear depth.
