MALIAU BASIN - THE LOST WORLD OF SABAH
Maliau Basin described as one of the few remaining untouched wilderness areas on Earth.

Solution

I intend to illustrate Maliau Basin waterfall in watercolour to give a different twist to the whole design. The front and back view shows deep valley of wild forests concealing secret waterfalls, and the water flows towards the saucer-shaped basin, in which the Maliau Basin got its name for its most prominent feature.

Which place, city and country is featured in your design? (place/city/country)

MALIAU BASIN, SABAH, MALAYSIA

Describe why you have chosen this place as a visual? What story does your design tell?

Maliau Basin is located on the East Malaysian state of Sabah, on the island of Borneo. Known as Sabah's Lost World for its mysterious story behind it. Maliau Basin comprises a deep valley of wild forests concealing secret waterfalls and exotic wildlife. Largely untouched is because it remained undiscovered until 1947, when a pilot almost crashed into it. The first record of any human entry into Maliau wasn’t until the 1980s.
