During my travel, I have observed the crossing line between the mountain from east Taiwan and the Pacific Ocean which creates the beautiful view such as cliff. So, the inspiration was integrated into the aquascape to present a magnificent mountain view.

Rising Again

Aquarium Size/W120 x D45 x H45 (cm)

Comments from Lin Tingquan

The work uses a large number of dragon stone as the main landscaping material, presenting a scene of mountains and canyons. The fish swimming in the picturesque position adds a lot of lun to the work, and the ratio between the number of aquatic plants and the exposure of the material is good. Dragon stone seems cannot express the majesty of the mountain. If other stones can be used, will it have a better effect? If the two sides of the fish tank are extended instead of being filled with moss, it would be better.
