This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Backwards."
This work by artist Devorah Sperber is in the NC Museum of Art. It's the Mona Lisa backwards and upside-down, and the image is made of 5,184 spools of thread suspended on metal chain.
But when you look at it through a small crystal ball, the image flips and is right-side up. Very cool.
Thanks for visiting and have a nice weekend.
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.

Interesting art -- one that is creative as well as a good homage to a masterwork. :)

Wow - what a cool piece of art. I wonder how many folks pass by thinking 'that's interesting' without ever stopping to see what is behind the mystery of the upside down and backards piece of art?
