Trompe L’oeil
Skyblue Screendoor lived in a large apartment building. One day she installed a painting of a hole in a ceiling above her bed. Just before falling asleep, Skyblue studied the painting, which showed stars in a dark sky. When she woke up the next morning the painting was still there. Starlight poured into her bedroom. Skyblue remained under the covers and stared at the picture for many minutes before rising and getting ready for her day. Skyblue ate a plain breakfast and wore plain clothes that blended into the world. People did not see her. Many walked right through her.
