The name of this jellyfish is “upside-down jellyfish.
As the name suggests, it lives with its umbrella down.
When we consider that ocean pollution is progressing and that the habitat of these jellyfish may be affected in some way, various dots connect to form a line, leading us to consider the global environment as a whole.
I strongly felt that we must strive to coexist well with the many living creatures, including those in the photographs.
