Distorted images can also be made using curved surface mirrors other than cylindrical mirrors. When there are wide and green belts on the three sides of a square, and a cone-shaped mirror is placed in the center, a clover leaf appears reflecting the surrounding green belts on the mirror. This is a well-known work. Like this, when we tried various other curved surface mirrors, A new distorted image was obtained. Figure 545 represents a work in which a mirror of a square gimlet of a pyramid shape was used. The character "San" appears when the square gimlet is placed on the clown's forehead as shown in the inset on the upper left, and looked at the gimlet from the top.

The father (a student from South Korea) who could not bear missing his child "San Huwa" who was born two months earlier, gave his child the nickname "San", rising from the face of the tiny clown. Generally speaking, though these kinds of transformations such as a concrete to concrete and non- concrete to non-concrete are often used, his skill in transforming a concrete configuration into a "character" hardly represents the meaning of its shape.
