35. Scale Confusion


Scale Confusion can be used for fantasy or even to show the importance from one thing to another. It is a play on scale of items making them seem out of place or the wrong size compared to other elements in the composition. In the street art to the right, Alice in Wonderland is depicted. This street art represents scale confusion because the sizes are off. For instance, the cat is huge compared to the tree and the catapillar is huge compared to the mushroom. The street art below is also scale confusion because the obilesque in the back should be smaller than the other buildings because it is suppose to be farther away, but instead it is actually larger than all of the other buildings to depict its significance.
