"the artwork was so cool"

depiction of an ancient stepped pyramid resembling Mayan architecture, set against a vibrant natural backdrop. The structure, surrounded by lush green jungle, is illuminated by soft lights along its steps. A calm, vivid blue ocean lies in the foreground, with the scene set against a warm and colorful sunset sky, blending orange, pink, and blue hues.
