Finished editorial illustration, landscape 8:5. Overhead close view of one algal bloom floating on still water; no shoreline or pond outline. A connected black cut-paper raft enters from the lower-left edge and fans toward the upper right, with comically oversized rounded lobes and a few absurdly elongated trailing strands. Several broad water gaps interrupt the mass, keeping its algae-like structure readable at thumbnail size. Uneven hand-cut contours, matte black paper, loose black marker touches along selected edges. Pale sage water made with broad, simple marker strokes on warm ivory paper; two short ripple strokes only. Leave generous open water across the upper left. Playful asymmetry, strong silhouette, flat colour, minimal texture, no intricate detail. One scene, no people, no laboratory objects, no diagrams. No text, logos or watermarks.
