The Discovery of Illusorism (Self-portrait)
In this illustration, I am looking at a cube-shaped structure that could never be
built in reality. Accordingly, the position of my hands is illusory and possible only
on paper. The structure is a symbol of illusorism. Just a surrealism evolved from
realism, I have developed illusorism from illusionism. Since illusorism contorts
reality to certain extent, it is also connected to realism; I have illustrated this fact
by means of the contorted side walls of the structure.
