Description
A red ochre etched image of two box shapes (one inside the other) rendered in one point perspective, with a goose silhouette sitting on the bottom edge of the interior box. A wolf silhouette is walking along the bottom edge of the exterior, which confuses the perspective established by the spatial position of the goose, creating an optical illusion. The box is imposed on a gridded background.
