The Christmas Jellyfish Among the Stars scene
The jellyfish fills the composition with its decorated bell and many flowing, ribbon-like arms. Pearls, star shapes, and round ornaments surround the marine creature, blending an underwater subject with festive imagery. Repeating patterns across the bell emphasize its curved form.
Surprising facts about drifting jellyfish
Jellyfish move by contracting and relaxing their bell, which pushes water behind them, but ocean currents carry them over much greater distances. Their bodies consist mostly of water, and they have no bones, heart, or brain like those of vertebrate animals.
