About Artwork:
This aquascape theme has been inspired by the beautiful nature sceneries that I witnessed in my last year’s visit to Sindhudurg, Konkan region. Considering my busy work schedules and continuous traveling profile, it took almost 11 months to convert the imagination into real hardscape. This aquascape consists of more than a thousand of driftwood pieces which have been glued and fixed to form bonsai trees. The entire scape would thereby resemble a natural habitat and atmosphere for both flora and fauna. The tetras have enjoyed moving through the scape, bred multiple times with lots of hiding spaces in the woods. It provides me a complete relaxation with positive vibes watching this scape right the time I wake up and before going asleep. It has been my dream project while constructing this 5 ft huge aquascape with a tribute to mother nature, and I have named it “Law of Attraction”, which states that whatever you focus your energy on will come back to you.
