From illusionary underground temples to icy cliffs and books bursting with stories, this new collection of 3D street art by Joe and Max blends realism with wonder. Featured in cities like Dublin, Gloucester, and beyond, each piece invites the viewer to step into another dimension—literally. Highlights include a yeti crashing out of a frame, a dramatic refugee boat illusion by the river, and a deep plunge into a cosmic wormhole.
