Chinese painter Xia Xiao Wan transforms flat images into spatial ones by using sequenced layers of glass. His intriguing, distorted figures are drawn per individual layer using colored pencil on tinted glass and only together create the hologram like effect that is subject to change dependent on the viewers position.

Xiao Wan graduated from the Third Studio of Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing in 1982 and currently works as a professor in the stagecraft department of the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing.
