The toy puzzle was designed by Teslyar and is made from 3D wooden strips. The wooden strips boast printed images such as Van Gogh, cityscapes, and more beautiful images. Once the jigsaw puzzle is complete, users can hang the puzzle up as [decorative wall art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) for an interactive and optical illusion piece—the image changes depending on where the viewer is looking, creating two artworks in one frame. WoodfloW aims to highlight how the world changes depending on one's point of view. It uses long square strips of wood with different segments of images printed on its flat faces, creating a zigzag canvas and effectively two different artworks.
