Today’s illusion is an interesting composition along an old favorite theme. The fact that it takes things into three dimensions, and produces the ghostly cube effect using only shading changes which do do not disrupt the underlying structure of the blocks in the composition, are what I believe gives it the edge. This work was [...]

Dave Barlow created this Escher model of Ascending and Descending from plaster blocks. It is amazing replica of impossible world, where the steps on top of the castle seem to go up and up infinately. In some way, this can be undestood as punishment Sisyphus bared.
