Long after the humans have abandoned their planet and consumed its resources, 
the thinking machines once made by Man resurrect a new paradise from the sands of the wasteland.

Oasis is the second collaborative diorama by Nannan Zhang and Tyler Clites 
It was built from April to June 2011 and contains approximately 25,000 pieces. 
The creation was inspired by the idea of a spinning wheel towering above a pool of moving water.
