2nd Place winner
Sandu Ao
DESCRIPTION
Under a soft, diffused light and a sky veiled in gentle clouds, the aerial view of Sandu Ao reveals a floating village drifting in stillness. Wooden homes cluster like lily pads on the calm, silvery water, their quiet geometry forming a delicate patchwork. Narrow walkways and boats connect each dwelling, weaving a slow rhythm of life. The scene evokes the spirit of Shan Shui painting, not through towering peaks, but in the serene balance between water, sky, and the subtle presence of humanity.
