The composition of this one is very exciting. The row of gold boxes 
outlining the windows and pictures especially. There is a great deal of 
energy created as a viewer's mind fights between the perfectly 
symmetrical 2D shape and textures of the windows and surrounding walls 
and the contrasting asymmetrical, virtual, 3D shapes of the spaces on 
either side of the windows.

This illusion is present on the top as well. The diagonal lines of the 
dropped ceiling show clearly that the picture is centered, but the 
varying volumes of the dropped ceilings attempt to deceive.

For me, the whole thing falls apart below the floor line. The strong 
horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines disappear, leaving the floor 
looking empty, and the electric, illusory surrealism of the composition 
  and your familiar yet alien musical instruments is IMO stomped to 
death by the more mundane surrealism of the floating game board.

HOW DID THE SHOW TURN OUT!?? You mentioned that it was coming up at 
p.o-t, but I never saw any report of how your images were received by 
the public.
