About this work
Ambigram Escher with two reversible hands drawing right side up and upside-down. Ambiguous image based on a symmetry of 180 degrees. Photomontage with an ambigram tessellation showing the name "Escher" in two colors using negative space upside down. M. C. Escher's work features mathematical objects and operations including impossible objects, explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, perspective, and tessellations. This composition is a tribute inspired by Drawing Hands, a famous creation by Escher featuring two reversible hands drawing each other (archive).
