Anamorphosis

Life is and isn't anamorphosis. For those not in the know, this is a visual phenomenon involving a deliberately deformed image that can be made to reappear in its true shape when viewed in an unusual way (for instance, obliquely, or through a distorting mirror). All shapes are true, and all shapes are deformed. A distorting mirror does not distort, but rather, it brings an image into another reality. All things are of this reality.
The skull you see, that is the true shape of it. It can't be made more true, not through anamorphosis, not by an act of God. It is what it is.
