"Nuri" is one of the puzzling worlds most popular prefixes for genre names; meaning "Paint" 🖌️ it is often used for shading types, in particular those that disallow 2x2s of shaded cells. There are at least eight non-variant nuri genres on Eric's puzzle rules document, and I wouldn't be too surprised to learn of more! Today's GAPP is one of them, a Nuri-Uzu, where the "Uzu" means "Whirlpool" 🌊

Rules: Shade some cells such that each group of orthogonally connected unshaded cells contains exactly one circle and has 180° rotational symmetry around it. No 2x2 area may be entirely shaded or unshaded.
