Uncertainty perspective

Even if you and I were looking out at the same scenery from the same window, we would each perceive slightly different images. I was interested in whether I could give form to these differences in our perception so that we can visualize the discrepancies and distortions that arise when we attempt to look at something together. In other words, this piece enables you to see the actual phenomenon that is born as a result of the physical distance between viewers. With this window, I would like to observe how we share experiences of things with others and see how things appear from viewpoints other than my own.
