Naisaiku Cutouts

Naisaiku Cutouts


Can we truly trust our own eyes? Sometimes, what appears to be the work of a master may actually be a masterful deception.


Mr. and Mrs. Andrews

By Thomas Gainsborough

Guess Who’s Peeking Through


Sunshine or moonshine,

A pair of faces appears.

Images deceive.

GUESS WHO’S PEEKING THROUGH.

Images deceive.

A pair of faces appears.

Sunshine or moonshine.


Onlookers decide,

Putting dampers on drollness,

Choosing what to see.

GUESS WHO’S PEEKING THROUGH.

Choosing what to see,

Putting dampers on drollness,

Onlookers decide.
