The vertical lines and stretching tree branches are a great play on the sense of 3 dimensional space. I really enjoy the perspective in this presentation - just enough to ignore the slightly artificial construct of the extremely straight vertical wood pieces. Quite a number of plants are in poor form with algae which is the main blemish in this aquascape.

Outstanding creation. I really enjoyed viewing this as it was not clear to me at first what was happening. The ancient spread out tree among the vertical trees is quite striking. Then looking closer I see that some of the vertical "trees" are maybe vines? This left me confused and wanting the latter. Either way it felt innovative to me. Well done!

Dimensions 45 × 35 × 35 cm
Title jungle shadows
Volume 55L
Background This work uses the trunk branches and air roots covered with green moss to interweave into a jungle landscape. The sunlight that nourishes all things is sprinkled from the positive water plants and branches of the back. The light and shadow of the branches and leaves are more vibrant, watery and negative. Implantation is an indispensable element in the humid jungle environment. The fish chooses Hyphessobrycon elachys with a cool low-key silver-white translucent body. It is fully integrated into the scene and joins the mysterious atmosphere of nature, with prominent tail-handle lines. People can't help but notice its existence, but they don't take advantage of the waterscape. They swim in the intricate trees and are called "jungle shadows(叢林蔭象)."
