+#### Explanation
+
+- Use the `:before` and `:after` elements for the top and bottom bars of the overlay respectively, setting their `opacity`, `transform` and `transition` to produce the desired effect.
+- Use the `figcaption` for the text of the overlay, setting `display: flex`, `flex-direction: column` and `justify-content: center` to center the text into the image.
+- Use the `:hover` pseudo-selector to update the `opacity` and `transform`  of all the elements and produce the desired effect.
