In May this year, a similar video documenting an interactive 3D artwork made using coloured chalks went viral.

The video showed two women drawing a simple, three-dimensional image around a pole, creating the illusion of a platform-like structure around it. After completing the work, the women jokingly “balance” themselves on this drawn platform and walk around it.

This video, which gathered hundreds of likes, was posted by an account that goes by the name Punam Art Academy (@punamartacademy) on Instagram and YouTube.

In August last year, another artwork on a tree trunk, posted on Twitter by a popular account Gabriele Corno (@Gabriele_Corno), mesmerised netizens. In it, the artist employed trompe-l’œil, a realistic imagery technique, to create an optical illusion which made it appear that a girl was spinning on a ball in the middle of a tree trunk.
