INTERIOR

This is the interior of the zen garden.

I have never worked on a similar project, when I started I thought "I will never do it", but the desire to have an object like this on my desk gave me the strength to carry on. Usually these objects cost a lot, but by building them with your own printer you can save a lot of money.
