Large, sharp, red image of an underwater scene with swimming fish, coral, and tall kelp/seaweed; in background, swimming among the stalks of seaweed, a diver with diving gear can be seen swimming towards the viewer; his arm is clearly visible, though rest of body blends into background; seemingly, work is one large sheet of holographic film, sandwiched by 2 large sheets of glass; the sheets are held together by thick red tape around the borders, forming a red frame.
