Competition results are, above all, a record of the journey and development of my work. My greatest achievement remains 15th place in the world and the Honor Prize at IAPLC 2023.
For me, IAPLC represents the pinnacle of international aquascaping. The result achieved with Closure remains the most important award of my work.
Spring happines placed sixth in the international IADC 2024 competition and received the Bronze Prize.
Following the IAPLC 2023 result, my work was also featured in ADA Aqua Journal in IAPLC Creator’s File #14.
