Just imagine a place in which things turned upside down are still right-side up, where the laws of nature as we know them are suspended, ignored, or even expanded. That's the fantastic universe of Eye Twisters, which features incredible ambigrams--calligraphic designs that have not just one, but two interpretations at once.

Escher, Scott Kim, Gustave Verbeek, Rob Gonsalves, and many more.
