Anamorphosis Anamorphosis is a technique used in art and optics to distort or transform an image in such a way that it appears normal only when viewed from a particular vantage point or through a specific optical device. The term originates from the Greek words "ana" (meaning "back" or "again") and "morphe" (meaning "form" or "shape"). Anamorphic images often appear distorted or elongated when viewed from certain angles but resolve into recognizable shapes or perspectives when viewed from a designated viewpoint or reflected in a curved mirror. Artists throughout history have employed anamorphosis to create illusions of depth, perspective, and spatial distortion, challenging viewers to reconsider their perceptions and explore the boundaries between reality and illusion. |
