This series of prints takes the viewer in a loop, widening the view and revealing more complexity with each step. The lattice in the design is based on an axonometric grid, which gives the illusion of overlapping objects in the same plane. The final step as arranged here shows a similarity to the first, implying that backing up far enough is a return to the original viewpoint.

Rather than just dumping the group photo here, I will explain the transition between each step, with larger images.

We begin with three lines radiating from the center.

Next, we take a step back to reveal that the three lines were par of something larger. We also learn that in this world, lines maintain constant thickness unrelated to their proximity.

Backing up further, we see the previous structure bound by a hexagon.

The hexagon now appears to be a cube with an indention in isometric perspective.

The cube, surrounded by a ring of attached cubes, is surrounded by a ring of cubes with different connectors.

Some of the connectors begin to sprout other connectors.

The simple connectors become more complex.

Now we can see that the outer cube rings are linked to one another and part of the inner ring.

Every outer ring now has as much complexity as the center one.

Moving back again, more instances of the rings form a lattice.

The lattice structure is now silhouetted and the silhouette maintains an outline.

We back away one more time, revealing more of the pattern formed from the silhouette.

The corners are softened and lines are made less jagged.

The softer shapes are abstracted even more, into just a few different simple shapes.

Each shape shrinks down in place (or maybe the viewer is still backing away as shapes get smaller but are not affected by linear perspective).

Finally, a group of the far away simplified shapes is isolated to reveal an image very much like the beginning.

Alle prints in deze serie zullen deel uitmaken van de Bridges Math/Art Conference in Eindhoven, Nederland, in juli 2025.
