36) Illusion of Space by Overlapping

The space in this two-dimensional image is achieved by the overlapping of individual pieces. The camel and rider in profile are obviously closer than the pyramids in the background, despite the fact that the pyramids are in fact much larger. Each pyramid cuts off a portion of the one behind it. The viewer knows that the rest of each pyramid exists, so the cut off portion must be farther back in space.
