Perspectives by Trey Watkins. The blocks ranged from about 6 inches high to about 10 feet high and you can only see the phrase on a specific location. There were many words spelled, like Perspectives, Home, Where are you, Make a Wish.
b. A mental view or outlook.
Sometimes you need to look at things a different way to see the bigger picture.

These two images were taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, roughly two hours apart and from opposite sides of the reflecting pool.
To depict this room 2-point vertical perspective was used to partially open up, or unfurl, the space while keeping within the bounds of acceptable distortion. The two (primary) vanishing points are on a vertical line; if they are spaced too far apart any advantages of this perspective method are reduced.
The room's true verticals converge at the lower vanishing point; the horizontals that are directed away from the eye appear to approach infinity — which is the upper vanishing point. The room's horizontals (to the eye) are unaffected, and remain parallel.
In the absolute coordinate system of the room, the open door exists in its own rotated auxiliary co-ordinate system; in the perspective process the door also has two (secondary) vanishing points — which lie on a horizontal line (in the picture plane) that passes through the upper vanishing point of the room. The door's horizontals (at the top and bottom of it) converge at the auxiliary vanishing points on the Hz line through the upper absolute vanishing point. The verticals of the door behave exactly as those of the room – they converge to, or radiate about, the lower vanishing point.
The chair can be considered as being contained in a box-like orthogonal space; this box, which is turned to some arbitrary angle, has a (tertiary) pair of vanishing points that also lie on the Hz line through the upper vanishing point.
This vertical configuration of two vanishing points can give quite dramatic effects – for particular scenes where orthogonal objects have not been rotated about a vertical axis. Once any such rotation has occured (however small), as with the door or chair, then the auxiliary vanishing points flip to being on a horizontal line. Some of the pencil construction lines are intentionally left visible.
This sketch was done on one page of an A5 notebook — and the top and bottom (the primary pair) vanishing points are on the page. The picture has been cropped from the full page scan.
