Thank you for sharing this. I have mixed feelings about this piece.
There's a lot to look at. They've obviously put a lot of time and skill into it, and it's nice to look at, and I don't want to sound like I don't appreciate its merits, but I feel like I can't appreciate it completely.
The top and bottom thirds are interesting and recognizable, but my brain has to work hard to piece together the busy middle section. I kind of wish they had done something like this: !parallelview@sh.itjust.works
That would take it from "wow, this is awesome" to "mind blowingly awesome"
I wouldn't work very well to see it in real life, because you'd have to stand so far back you couldn't appreciate the fine details. But it would be possible to arrange two close up photographs to get a 3D effect of the detail.
I stood there so close my breath was on the canvas! It was much better in person.
I just had to step back to capture the whole piece in one image.
