A digital print RGB (red, green, blue) wallpaper. The design consists of three different scenes, each printed in a different color, one on top of another. By viewing the design through a red, green, or blue filter the different layers of which the image is composed are revealed. When viewed under a red light or filter the scene is an elaborate architectural interior; with a green filter, it is a forested landscape; while a blue light reveals a dense group of figures and satyrs. When viewed in normal light the wallpaper appears as an illegible jumble of all three scense in yellow, pink and blue, with the forested landscape appearing more dominant.
