When you look at any artwork that involves intricate details and patterns, several things happen when you squint. It can allow you to perceive the image more realistically or cohesively for several reasons: details are simplified, contrast is enhanced, depth perception is increased, there is increased focus on the overall composition, and peripheral distractions are limited.

In this collection, the artwork can be appreciated by its precise, machine-like qualities (algorithmic generated vectors), but another possibility exists. The viewer can also reveal hidden surprises by squinting. The artwork was purposefully created to harbor these illusions, encouraging us not to be overwhelmed by details. By changing the amount of light entering your eye, you can appreciate the broader strokes of composition, contrast, and spatial arrangement that contribute to the unexpected realism of these geometric creations.
