ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:

Most people think of birds as synonymous with the element of air, but some species are better adapted to water. Pigeon guillemots are fun to observe at the surface, but some of the most important parts of their lives take place underwater. Sarah says: “Imagining this aquatic world was an enjoyable challenge.”
