Aakash Nihalani's illusory street installations are beautifully mesmerizing and immersive in the sense that they visually puzzle the viewer. The artist plays with perspectives to create a three-dimensional illusion upon a flat surface and foster "a more malleable reality." Aakash Nihalani utilizes a variety of geometric shapes and situates them in an abstract composition that juxtaposes white, black and dominantly vibrant colors.
