Additional Information
Inspiration : The idea for this scape was inspired by a hike in 2019 to Lusi Cave, located in the limestone mountains near Vang Vieng in northern Laos. On the way there, one could see impressive mountain ranges with cone-shaped peaks completely covered with lush vegetation. Once arrived at the elevated cave entrance, there was a breathtaking view of the hilly and lush landscape. So my goal was to replicate these experiences and memories in this scape, and to convey the feeling of being in the mouth of a cave and looking out to an bright and impressive landscape of jungle and caves.
