IMAGES Spring 2022 theme is illusion!

imagine. seeing their faces crack and break, turn in a circle; you’ll be intrigued by the panorama. you may experience vertigo: a pattern capable of reversible perspective. a lie carefully crafted to unveil only what you wish. an obfuscation of reality. a story to inhabit so you might avoid a stark world. a vortex, a vision, an idea, a lack of water, a ship of theseus sailing in a hall of mirrors, a cruise on lake shore drive. this is an illusion.
