Learn From Nature, Create Nature

Who can ever grow tired of the sight of brightly colored fishes
swimming gracefully among flourishing aquatic plants?
You may become lost in a haze of memories,
with your eyes fixed on the plants in silence, so clear like the water.
Memories of playing in rivers and ponds as a child well up inside you,
unfolding the scenes of shoals of tiny fish and plants thriving underwater,
or maybe recalling the affection towards nature planted deep in our hearts.
Nature Aquarium is a small world enclosed inside aquaria:
an artificial realm of nature, not a mere imitation of nature nor nature itself.
It’s built upon a unique combination of two kinds of creativity –
human and natural, and takes shape when they reach out to each other.
This small world can be thought of as a glass crucible
where these two creative energies mix and mingle.
The results? Fascination and relaxation.
