This year’s Sculpture by the Sea event in Bondi, Australia had one sculpture that really caught the eyes of everyone. The Stairway To Heaven sculpture by David McCracken looks like an endless stairway to the sky from certain angles. The real of this unique piece is actually Diminish and Ascend and visitors of the outdoor event couldn’t get their eyes off it. In fact it’s a simple optical illusion created when you look at the sculpture from various angles and the climb is not that long at all.

McCracken is an expert at creating these illusion sculptures that play with perspective and bending the visual effect created by distance and angle of view. He built a custom model of a staircase that decreases in size as it goes near the highest point from the base, this gives the illusion of an infinite stairway to heaven and like the stairs go straight to the clouds and beyond.

Hard to miss this beautiful staircase that sits on the shore of Bondi, Australia
