Information about the scape:

“Early Autumn”

We embrace ourselves within our own country, our own home in the time of pandemic but our imagination has its own freedom to travel boundlessly. I always have a wish to travel to Kyoto in autumn time, where I can see the transition of leaves colours on mountains and enjoy its tranquility reflection on the lake. So I left my mind drifted in the world of imagination to paint the picture of the "Early Autumn" in an aquascape, where the transition of summer to fall were gradually sketched.

"Colours are the smiles of Nature".

I used natural colours of aquatic plants to get the transition gradient of colours in my "painting". It still has the lively colours of summer and starts having vibrant colours of autumn.

Thanks to Aquascaping, we find peace in our minds during this period of time and find ourselves in nature, naturally.
