Gift of Nature 自然遺珍

Perspective mural with AR

Commissioned by Spirit of Sumatra exhibition in 2024

Artwork Description

Leon captures Sumatra’s biodiversity as a series of precious “gifts,” with flora and fauna symbolizing nature’s bounty. Through his masterful use of perspective, Leon immerses viewers in this surreal scene, allowing them to feel part of the lush landscape, alongside the gentle presence of these heartwarming elephants, the mother and her calf. 

Enhanced with augmented reality, more boxes open and more wildlife come to life before the viewers' eyes, deepening the experience and reminding us of the beauty and importance of preserving our natural world. Each “gift” emphasizes our shared duty to respect and protect these treasures of life.
