Piece description from the artist

This pixel stretch piece of art was created originally to be created as a sculpture. However, I liked it so much as is, it is solely available as a print.

The basis of all of Mar's work lies in challenging the traditional means of viewing photography while commenting on our ever shifting environment. It is her hope that through the reconsideration of the familiar, that we all can truly learn to evolve.
