The composition depicts a tranquil tropical landscape with palm trees, architectural structures, water, and distant birds, all meticulously rendered using natural straw in varying tones to create depth and texture. The artwork is housed behind glass in a simple, 1” wide, Borneo-white wood frame that complements the organic materials and highlights the contrast of the design.
