Description: 

Ten Quintillion features a tiny garden and the creatures that rely on its existence to survive. Through bugs-eye-view exploration, this menial location comes alive, the creatures within fascinating and the entire microcosm beautiful. An intimacy is created with creatures that are normally disregarded, each becoming a unique, alluring character. However, the harmonious nature of this tiny world balances on a knife point and it takes very little to throw it into disarray.
