Description

Design concept:

Caesar once announced, 'Veni, vidi, vici' or, "I came, I saw, I conquered." People celebrated the brilliance of Caesar's words and Plutarch wrote: "In Latin, the words have the same inflectional ending, therefore a brevity which is most impressive."

It's daunting yet exciting to capture and combine the essence of both Western and Eastern culture. Inspired by Caesar, the link stitch illusion is designed to conquer the challenge of combining the two distinct and different cultures. The visual illusion provides two different colour options, one showing a Western cultureinspired silhouette and the other showing an Eastern inspired palette. When looking upon the work from afar, the ultimate illusion shows the combination of both, which is the spirit of Veni, vidi, vici.
