You pop right out
You Pop Right Out is a drawing based on the Hermann Grid illusion (flickering grey dots at the intersections of the white horizontal and vertical lines). It also encompasses a second 3D illusion that can be viewed simultaneously. This enables the art viewer to see the Hermann Grid illusion within a 3D context.
