&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Digital Collages of People Climbing Stairs by &lt;a href="http://www.saatchionline.com/profile/148858" target="_blank"&gt;Jiyen Lee&lt;/a&gt; via &lt;a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/jiyen-lee-stairs-collages" target="_blank"&gt;MMM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Korean artist Jiyen Lee has created a series of hypnotizing digital collages that present people going up and down stairs, as seen from a bird’s eye view. Each puzzling assemblage features an unidentifiable traffic of pedestrians on an endless journey. It also remains unclear whether they are actually ascending or descending the steps in front of them, as Lee has taken the artistic liberty of reconfiguring images in unimaginable compositions. Like an M. C. Escher painting, the artist’s digitally manipulated images present a saturation of staircases with no perceivable beginning or end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
