With the rise of the modern internet, people increasingly compare themselves to others and chase societal values, losing touch with their inner selves.



Animals, however, embrace a simple yet profound philosophy: "Live in the present!" Unlike humans, who worry about the future and dwell on the past, they fully experience each moment.



To break free from human constraints, entering this space feels like stepping into a dream. Visitors pass through a cave-like entrance into an immersive experience of three unique animals native to Maokong, Taiwan. The journey ends in an open plaza, offering a moment for reflection.



We hope this experience helps people rediscover the importance of living in the present and bring this mindset into their daily lives.
