The interesting thing about this triptych is that the
first time I looked at it I scanned from the leftmost
part to the center, and because of the change in angle
a trick was played on my mind, giving me the impression
that the statue was caught in motion, as though it had
miraculously changed it's pose between shots. Doruksal
had done something similar a while back with a two
component triptych of a real bird and a figurine of a
bird. When I first looked at it I was momentarily
confused as to which was the real bird and which was
the figurine.

This isn't an optical illusion, per se, but rather an
illusion of logic (for lack of a better word), because
it plays games with one's mental associations between
the objects.

The third photo does seem to short circuit the effect.
I think a third angle would be much better, and complete
the effect.
