A lively group of woman wearing white tiger masks.

This concave relief creates the illusionary effect of the depictions changing positions and staring back at the viewer by taking advantage of the viewer's movements.

The depictions portray different expressions based on the viewer's perspective, and despite begin contradictorily hollow and absent, this sculpture creates an intimacy with each person that passes in front of it. This will surely become the next new public sculpture.
