Ambigramme
Escher
avec deux mains réversibles qui dessinent à l'endroit et à l'envers. Image réversible basée sur une symétrie par rotation de 180 degrés. Photomontage avec une
tessellation
(pavage) ambigramme révélant le nom "Escher" en deux couleurs utilisant l'espace négatif à l'envers. Les œuvres de
Maurits Cornelis Escher
représentent des constructions impossibles, des explorations de l'infini, des pavages et des combinaisons de motifs, qui défient les modes habituels de représentation du spectateur. Cette composition est un hommage inspiré de
Drawing hands
, une célèbre création d'Escher révélant deux mains se dessinant l'une l'autre (

).
