Images that inspired the sculpture:

This artwork was immensely intricate and focused on small details. From that, inspiration was taken to build depth and visual aesthetics.

From this art piece, inspiration was mostly taken from the "stacked" look that is shown on the tree on the left. This artwork showed a vast amount of depth, which I wanted to replicate.

From these two pieces, the main focus when making my own interpretation was depth and detail. In both works, there is emphasis on the intricate, small details that pull the works together. From this, I decided to focus mostly on the river that is seen through my art piece, and make it the focal point, just as the tree in the second photo is to that art piece. Additionally, the architecture that is shown through the buildings in both artworks caught my eye, which is why I decided to make the two small huts alongside the river in my piece.
