I've seen some intricate [optical illusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture) before, but sometimes it's the simple ones like 'Made In:Side' that really stand out. Using packing tape to create a [boxed art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii), it's cartoon-y and yet retains a bit of realism.

Created by Igor Eskinja, 'Made In:Side' is made directly onto the gallery's surfaces. Although most of his work has a [three-dimensional aspect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-and-crease-extended), there are a couple thrown in that are only two-dimensional. Enjoy the gallery above and perhaps you'll be inspired to tape up your walls.
