Description
I wanted to create an impossible library with a magical feel, the way a library opens up a world of imagination. It's a project I started working on already two years ago but didn't find all the pieces I was looking for to build up the scene until this year.In a way it's a variation of "The Architect" ( www.erikjo.com/work/the-architβ¦) but it's a different illusion as you're looking up on the scene instead of down. It was already published a few weeks ago at my first exhibition in Seoul, Korea.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about it? What comes to your mind when you see it?

hypnotic work, it's crazy, it's over
the bottom of the bookshelf is on the right slope, but at the top (photo frame and wall clock) is in the opposite position and this part is the most hypnotizing.love it .

Amazing. Depending on where I focus my eyes tells me a different tale.
No idea was this is in the forest. Maybe because its harder to use the background to get a perspecitive?

This feels very Escher to me, and I like it. Perhaps this piece shows how a library is an enclosed space you must enter, but after that, the knowledge you learn expands your mind outwards, and the whole world opens up to you. A library goes from a confining space to a launch pad that can send you in any direction.

I second that. M.C. Escher's work was also coming to my mind when I watched the image. As usual, it's very well done!

So when I read the title I referred it to looking at all the living creatures that you can find in the forest. Like going herping (not just for amphibians/reptiles). Then I wondered what was the point of the library illusion? It didn't have to be hereΒ
When I read the description it wasn't what I had in mind at all

Hello, that's a crazy perspective. The view changes constantly from the outside (a building from the outside, on whose walls the books stand) and inside, a shelter with books on the walls. The eye can not decide which perspective is right. The idea of the library is well chosen. I think it's awesome ... congratulations!
