Synchromysticism

" Synchromysticism:
The art of realizing meaningful coincidence in the seemingly mundane with mystical or esoteric significance."

Towering 23 Feet (7 Meters) Into the Sky. 237?

"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. "
The artist is known for his work with multiple figures, creating tornadoes, chain link fences, and frequently multiple small figures supporting the weight of what appears to be a pair of corporate or governmental shoes. 

A smaller bronze version of Karma is also on view at the
Albright Knox Museum in Buffalo.

"Stanley Ipkiss: [explaining how The Mask works] 
It's like it brings your innermost desires to life. 
If deep down you're a little repressed, and a hopeless romantic, you become some kind of love-crazy wild man.
Tina Carlyle: And if you're someone like Dorian?
Stanley Ipkiss: Then we're all in big trouble."

Is that an eye on the forehead?

Although some people may not be prepared for the mind maze just yet.
