Artist commentary: There were already people in the low lands. The only places left were the mountaintops. This new land gave up the freedom to live freely. Life on the top of the world was difficult. To survive we had to resort to slash and burn farming methods. Huge water works constructed out of bamboo brought in fresh water.
