At sunrise, glorious sunrise
it's a big catch!
A big catch of sardines!
On the beach, it's like a festival
but in the sea, they will hold funerals
for the tens of thousands dead.

〈Design descriptions〉
The massive school of sardines radiates a silvery sheen, giving the scene a translucent texture. They almost feel like a single large lifeform, gracefully moving through the sea. The colors have been layered as a way to give depth to the large flow of fish.
