Spirogyra, a green alga, is painted by Gina in watercolor in 2006 for Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Filaments in green, long and overlapping, each carry repeated spiral markings inside, the pattern behind the alga's name. The simple composition keeps the viewer's attention on that internal pattern.
