About

Stare into the center orange stripe. As you continue to look into this space two things appear to happen. The parallel lines begin to bend and/or begin to hover out and away from the perceived corner that the thinnist orange stripe creates.

Made for one of my best friends and flying over China I came up with this idea as the farm lands did not create the basic grid shapes that I am so familiar with having grown up in Saskatchewan, and thought 'this is beijing' a contrast from the busy streets, and concrete landing.
