Visual Shepard Tone Moon
An illusion within ourselves


This research explores the visual analogue of the Shepard tone a phenomenon where perception generates the impression of infinite rising without resolution.


The Moon — our Earth’s Moon — forms the origin. From photographs of its surface emerges a blur of colour that never stops shifting through complementary hues, appearing near, yet always unreachable.


The illusion occurs not within the work, but within the act of perception.
The viewer’s eye and mind complete the loop, producing a sense of endless transformation, an experience of infinite movement.


And yet infinity is not ours.
We do not know when we will end, we think of life as inexhaustible. But everything happens only a finite number of times.


How many more times will you watch the full Moon rise?

Perhaps ___ times and yet it seems limitless.
