The artwork shows a view overlooking a vegetable garden in Mai Châu, Vietnam, from 1994. The perspective is slightly elevated, offering a broad view that includes a small patch of cultivated land with neatly arranged green plants. To the right, there is a cluster of bamboo. Beyond the garden, a body of water stretches across most of the scene, with a misty surface. The horizon is not distinctly visible, as the water seems to blend into the distance. The color palette is dominated by earthy tones of green and brown, with the water reflecting a muted blue-gray.
