I chose this piece because of the shapes and colors used. I like how the prints are layered to create depth and perspective. Not only that, but because there are elements used at different angles to make it more realistic, per say. Except there is such objects like the floating man, a surprising shape you wouldn't expect to see in the sky. It makes me laugh a bit, because at a first glance, this piece just seems to be about shapes in different colors, but then when you take a closer look, the shapes reveal themselves to be something else. Like the man in the foreground on the bike contraption with the other man is really a tree bursting out from a human neck.
