Nelli's artistic process primarily unfolds in the digital sphere, but she thrives on exploring the tactile nature of her creations on paper and other materials. Her journey into poster art was born out of a desire to break free from the confines of traditional design and metrics.

The letters appear to ripple like water, echoing the fluidity of the ocean and alluding to the ethereal nature of these fantastical creatures.
As your gaze delves deeper, a spectrum of blues emerges, symbolizing the varying depths of the ocean and evoking a sense of graceful movement. The central focus is a golden-yellow Bubble Fish, exquisitely detailed and seamlessly integrated with the typography. Quotes from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" spiral around the fish, offering insights into the creature's interdimensional existence. Constellations and star clusters subtly etched into the poster connect the Bubble Fish to the broader cosmos, capturing the essence of Adams' imaginative universe.
