The art above is a portrait frame with a spiral staircase as a the Spinal Cord Vertebrae which supports the persons head. However, this head when the image is rotated right side up, the audience will notice that it transforms into the traditional African hut that is standing on top of the two point perspective modern skyscraper. In addition, if the image is rotated once more, the skyscraper balances on top of the hut, depicting the shift and change in architecture over the past decades.
