he Lake of None Reality opens a portal into a world where perception melts and imagination becomes the only compass. Soft planetary forms rise from an endless horizon, drifting between sky, ocean, and cloud. A small red-sailed boat glides across this dreamscape — a quiet symbol of curiosity and courage in the face of the unknown. One of the most striking qualities of this painting is its reversible nature. Viewed right-side up or turned upside down, the composition transforms yet remains complete. The direction of gravity disappears; the spheres become floating worlds or submerged depths, and the tiny red boat reappears in a new relationship with its surroundings. Each orientation reveals hidden narratives and new emotional tones, inviting viewers to experience the artwork as a shifting, living universe. In this dual-perspective world, Tic plays with scale, perspective, and balance, blurring the borders between reality and illusion. Clouds echo waves, seas reflect skies, and the landscape breathes as if suspended between two parallel dimensions. Surreal, poetic, and endlessly reinterpretable, The Lake of None Reality is not just a painting — it is an exploration of how the world changes when we change our point of view. A reminder that sometimes, to truly see, we must be willing to turn everything upside down.
