Artist Statement:

This mixed-reality work represents the growing visual impact of lenticular 3D imaging. Viewers can participate in this visual field without using any tools beyond their own eyes. As they stand beside or walk around this huge column of 3D images, they experience a kind of meta-perceptual vision with a feeling of devotion stimulated by deep stereoscopic CG visuals. This 3D image is the highest resolution image composed in 15 serial flames and the first time such a huge-scaled lenticuler image has been used to cover four surfaces.
