Fantasy of Perspectival Forms Set among Ruins

About this work

This woodcut shows a strange, tangled scene of buildings, trees, and people all twisted together. The lines don’t follow normal rules—columns bend, arches overlap, and figures seem to melt into the ruins. The whole image looks like it’s being pulled in different directions at once. The artist used sharp, clean lines to make everything feel unstable, almost like a puzzle that doesn’t fit right. The word "Fantasy" in the title hints this isn’t meant to look real—it’s more about playing with how things look from different angles.
