Context

What's interesting about our project is how different the size distortion is from other pieces that use this illusion. A lot of the time, the illusion makes a "normal" sized object look smaller, e.g. a person stands far away and in a manner that makes them look like they are being crushed under a closer person's boot. Our project makes the subject seem smaller, but in our project the subject is large and the illusion makes them seem "normal" sized. In most pieces that do this, the subject is normally building or monuments, and thus it was important to see how perception forced them to look smaller based on the environment and the subject-environment interaction, especially in cases where the audience knew the subject was larger than depicted.
