Lighting Duration : 8 Hours \| Inspiration : "Our Blue Ocean: A Journey into Natural Tranquility" "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit," once wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. Inspired by this sentiment, I endeavored to capture the mesmerizing spectrum of colors found in aquatic flora, creating a captivating piece I refer to as my "painting." Within this work of art, I harnessed the natural pigments present in underwater plants to craft a seamless transition of gradients. As the eye wanders across the canvas, it encounters the vivacious tones of summer while gradually embracing the resplendent hues of autumn. All the while, a tranquil blue ocean backdrop sets the stage for this captivating visual symphony. Through the transformative power of Aquascaping, a method that fuses artistry and nature, we discover a sanctuary for our minds. Amidst the pressures of the present, we find solace in immersing ourselves in the soothing embrace of nature's embrace, where harmony and serenity are effortlessly woven together.

Inspiration : The primordial rainforest of West Africa is an unknown and mysterious region. The land which has suffered from poverty, enslavement, disease and war is almost forgotten by the world, however just like the prosperous growth of African aquatic plants and the proudly swimming Phenacogrammus aurantiacus in the Congo River, it is full of strength and vitality. The blazing sunlight refracted on the shimmering water bottom, and life bloomed brilliantly in the deserted and barren West Africa land.
