Remarks: This three dimensional portraits can be considered art because it is certainly unique and original. The three-dimensional technique makes it different from all other portraits and makes it much more appealing to those who walk into the store. They certainly appear to be purposeful in that it intends to depict a vintage outlook. It invites much analysis and interpretation of the scene portrayed, which can vary from person to person. This picture is significant because each one is thought-provoking with trying to understand the story told within them. The portrait can be a reflector of common sexuality and that reflects upon Pomonas intent to recreate art through a various perspectives.
