That's some pretty fancy jiggery-pokery there, my friend.
Maybe your island could be like the little icosahedron in the the Magic 8-Ball -
sinking from one pool and surfacing in another :D
Also, a night scene would be pretty cool.
Does this orbit a trefoil sun? ;)

What about an Earth-Air-Fire-Water theme instead of 4 water pools? Mountain,
