Mathematical Photography

This piece is called Euler's Relation. Its description is excerpted below:

You are probably familiar with the famous optical illusion of a painting of an old crony which suddenly changes into a beautiful young woman as your mental perspective changes. Both images are contained within the picture - they are different aspects of the same pattern of lines on a page. All you have to do is alter your internal viewpoint to see the difference.
Euler’s relation is a bit like this famous optical illusion but on a vastly grander scale.
Euler’s relation links five of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics in a simple and elegant formula. It says that when viewed in a particular way, the concepts of one and zero are the same as the concepts of the exponential power (e), the imaginary number (i), and the irrational number (pi).
-WHATEVER THAT MEANS...WHO CARES?...I just like the photograph, okay? JUST JOKING. I think the images and their descriptions are a product of genius!
