At first glance, it looks like a perfectly realistic animal portrait. Then you step to the side, and everything falls apart. The work is created by Thomas Deininger, who builds sculptures entirely from discarded objects—plastic fragments, broken toys, scraps, and everyday waste. From one exact viewing angle, the chaos suddenly locks into focus, forming a detailed animal. Move even slightly, and the image collapses back into pure abstraction. There is no paint and no traditional canvas. The realism comes from perspective alone. Every object is placed with precision so that depth, shadow, and alignment do the work your brain expects a flat image to do. It’s sculpture, painting, and optical illusion happening at the same time. The result is a powerful reminder that meaning depends on where you stand, and that order can emerge from the most unlikely materials when viewed from the right angle
