Personally fascinated by the sight of underview of roots. It is a compilation of large wood and small wood and dragon stones. Dragon stones was my personal decision to use because I wanted some sense of direction of the design since it is an underview of roots, a deterioration of rocks is a must since it has a strong current underwater.
I would like to extend my deepest respect to the people who made the AGA 2023 possible. This is my 2nd entry for AGA, and I am proud to share my creation; "Caught beneath the roots". Personally fascinated by the sight of underview of roots. It is a compilation of large wood and small wood and dragon stones. The impression is inspired by Studio Ghibli - characterized by deep absorption in something such as an activity or a real/artificial environment while including realism.
