About the Artwork

Illusion Buster by photographer Eduardo Calderón was taken in Paris, France along the bank of the Seine River in the spring. He considers his work "to be a means of interpreting reality photographically while subconsciously altering its significance. This way I turn ordinary situations into surreal statements."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Kent School District.
