Competition aquascaping

Diorama / Forest

Cinematic depth, detailed hardscape and the illusion of a landscape beyond the glass.

Composition language

A direction close to contemporary competition work: a strong idea, multi-plane perspective and control of every detail without losing naturalism.

Three principles

What really
matters

01

Narrative

The layout leads the eye like a carefully composed film frame.

02

Depth

Converging paths and diminishing scale create distance.

03

Detail

Mosses, roots and fine plants bind the hardscape together.

Reference film / Nature Aquarium / ADAview
