That is exactly what Moamn Aly does in his digital art; the underground Egyptian artist creates mesmerising images that encapsulate the grandness of different areas of the environment. His work also showcases just how small we as humans are to the environment's wonders, something that we all need to be reminded of when engaging in acts that can pose harm to our habitat.
