A visual art piece comprises a plurality of transparent sheets, wherein at least one of the plurality of transparent sheets comprises cutouts forming an upper reservoir, a lower reservoir and a channel between the upper reservoir and the lower reservoir, wherein the cutouts are filled with a first liquid and a second liquid. The visual art piece also includes a plurality of scenery image layers depicting a natural scene, each of the plurality of scenery image layers comprising a portion of the natural scene at a different visual depth, wherein each of the plurality of scenery image layers is affixed between two of the plurality of transparent sheets. The visual art piece further includes a pump coupled to the at least one of the plurality of transparent sheets, the pump to propel the second liquid from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir when activated, the second liquid to flow through the first liquid in the channel from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir to visually simulate natural water movement in the natural scene.

1. A visual art piece comprising: a plurality of transparent sheets, wherein at least one of the plurality of transparent sheets comprises cutouts forming an upper reservoir, a lower reservoir and a channel between the lower reservoir and the upper reservoir, wherein the cutouts are filled with a first liquid and a second liquid;a plurality of scenery image layers depicting a natural scene, each of the plurality of scenery image layers comprising a portion of the natural scene at a different visual depth, wherein each of the plurality of scenery image layers is affixed between two of the plurality of transparent sheets; anda pump coupled to the at least one of the plurality of transparent sheets, the pump to propel the second liquid from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir through the channel when activated, the second liquid to flow through the first liquid in the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir to visually simulate natural water movement in the natural scene. 2. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein the plurality of transparent sheets are laminated together to seal the first liquid, the second liquid and the plurality of scenery image layers within the visual art piece. 3. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein the cutouts in the at least one of the plurality of transparent sheets align with an edge of one of the plurality of scenery image layers adjacent to the at least one of the plurality of transparent sheets. 4. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein a density of the second liquid is higher than a density of the first liquid. 5. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein the first liquid and the second liquid are immiscible. 6. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein the first liquid is substantially transparent and wherein the second liquid is more opaque than the first liquid. 7. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein a viscosity of the second liquid is higher than a viscosity of the first liquid. 8. The visual art piece of claim 7, wherein the second liquid comprises a plurality of solid particles mixed throughout, wherein the plurality of solid particles are not individually visible to the naked eye, the plurality of solid particles to prevent the viscosity of the second liquid from decreasing over time when the second liquid is agitated. 9. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein a difference between a surface tension of the first liquid and a surface tension of the second liquid is approximately 10 to 25 milliNewtons/meter at 25° Celsius against air. 10. The visual art piece of claim 1, wherein a refractive index of the plurality of transparent sheets is approximately equal to a refractive index of the first liquid. 11. The visual art piece of claim 1, further comprising: a flow sensor to measure a rate at which the second liquid flows through the first liquid in the upper reservoir;control circuitry coupled to the pump, the control circuitry to receive an indication of the rate from the flow sensor and to adjust a rate at which the pump propels the second liquid from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir based on the rate from the flow sensor. 12. The visual art piece of claim 1, further comprising: a display panel to display an indication of at least one of a time or a temperature;a speaker to emit sounds corresponding to the natural scene; anda light to illuminate at least a portion of the natural scene. 13. A system comprising: a sealed environment comprising an upper reservoir, a lower reservoir and a channel between the lower reservoir and the upper reservoir, wherein the sealed environment is filled with a first liquid and a second liquid, wherein the first liquid and the second liquid are immiscible, wherein the second liquid has a higher density than the first liquid, wherein the first liquid is substantially transparent and wherein the second liquid is more opaque than the first liquid, wherein a viscosity of the second liquid is higher than a viscosity of the first liquid, wherein the second liquid comprises a plurality of solid particles mixed throughout, wherein the plurality of solid particles are not individually visible to the naked eye, the plurality of solid particles to prevent the viscosity of the second liquid from decreasing over time when the second liquid is agitated; anda pump coupled to the lower reservoir, the pump to propel the second liquid from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir through the channel when activated, the second liquid to flow through the first liquid in the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein a difference between a surface tension of the first liquid and a surface tension of the second liquid is approximately 10 to 25 milliNewtons/meter at 25° Celsius against air.
