Hand-drawn designs of swimming outfits inspired by sea plants.
1. Four drafts of the design, showing different configurations of the swimming outfit. One is light green and covers the torso; one is teal, moving into light green, and covers the top half; the further two designs are uncoloured and explore different placements of the sea plant tendrils over the chest. Each design includes an incorporated head cover with red ear plugs.
2. Two designs on the same sea plant theme, both light green in colour, one two piece and the other one piece. The one-piece design is shown from multiple angles, and includes mesh paneling between the plant tendrils. Each design includes an incorporated head cover with red ear plugs. Annotation on the design reads: 'eyes are pads for hearing sensitivity to protect from noisy waves'.
