A graphic artwork displayed across two pages, featuring abstract geometric shapes in various shades of blue and white that create an illusion of three-dimensional objects on a flat surface. The left page shows a series of stacked cubes with a checkered pattern, while the right page mirrors the image with a slight variation in the arrangement of the cubes.

A wide-open book with blank white pages, featuring a centered abstract geometric art piece on the right page, composed of various shades of gray forming a three-dimensional box-like structure.

A digital image displaying two pages of a book with abstract geometric artwork. Each page features a series of concentric squares with warm colors ranging from brown to orange, creating a sense of depth and vibrancy. The left page has a darker outer square, while the right page starts with a brighter red outer square.

An open book with abstract geometric shapes, consisting of overlapping rectangles and irregular polygons, embossed on white pages.

An open book displaying two abstract geometric artworks across a two-page spread. The left page shows a line drawing of a transparent, three-dimensional rectangular form with overlapping squares.

A digital artwork depicting two stylized, geometric representations of cylindrical shapes on a maroon background, presented side by side in an open book format. The left image shows vertical and horizontal cylinders with circular cutouts, while the right image features a continuous cylindrical form resembling a curled ribbon or a rolled scroll. Both images use a bold red-orange outline for the shapes, creating a striking contrast against the dark background.
