"Karma is a recent sculpture installed in the Sydney and
Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at the New Orleans Museum of Art by Korean sculptor Do Ho Suh (previously).
Captured here in a series of photographs by Alan Teo, the piece depicts a tower of piggy-backed men, each successively covering the eyes of the man below him, creating an illusion that the blinded tower seems to stretch to infinity like a fractal, although technically it was made from 98 cast stainless steel figures.

A smaller bronze version of Karma is also on view at the

Tina Carlyle: And if you're someone like Dorian?
Stanley Ipkiss: Then we're all in big trouble."
