A vertical column of color. The colors are very beautiful, and interact with the colors of the rest of the mural. Only on looking at this image more carefully do we realize that it is upside down. Our perceptions have been altered – what we expected is not what we have. “Wrong”, “upside-down” are relative terms. Here, the “wrong” image is quite beautiful, if we forget that it is wrong.
