Description
This contemporary artwork features a realist depiction of a suburban neighborhood viewed through the distorted lens of a car's rearview mirror. The composition is dominated by muted earth tones and the curved shape of the mirror frame, drawing the viewer's attention to the fragmented, dreamlike quality of the scene.

This work reflects the artist's skillful use of photorealistic techniques to create a subtle, thought-provoking commentary on the human experience of the modern world. ...
