Description: Zen garden is a traditional style of Japanese garden that is very simple. Rocks and sand raked in patterns of rippling water could be art forms for the imagination to familiarize with nature on the Moon. Solar panels could also be manipulated as part of the landscape design, representing shapes of natural elements. See paper "Lunar Zen Garden: Natural Design as a Key to Reliability in Extreme Space Environments."

Medium/Tools Used: Acrylic colors on Clairefontaine black paper.
