How this image was made

Generated with Nano Banana from this prompt:

A wide 16:9 image in the Bioluminescent deep style: the dark waters of a drowned New England pond far in the future, a white clapboard meeting house and stone walls resting on its floor, softly furred with glowing moss. A vast swarm of jellyfish fills the water from edge to edge, a dense curtain of violet, cyan and pale green bells drifting in every direction. In the middle third of the frame a small anonymous swimmer, seen from behind, moves straight and steadily forward with long, sure strokes, and ahead of them the swarm is parting by itself, the jellyfish drifting aside to open a clear round tunnel through the glow, which closes again softly behind their fins. Through the open tunnel the centre of the picture stays dark and calm, a deep round passage of black water leading on into the distance. The meeting house roof and old stone walls glow faintly through the swarm toward the left and right edges. Underwater photography, long exposure, fine drifting particles, deep perspective down the tunnel. No text, letters, signage or typography anywhere in the image.
