Impossible Figure: 2008-03-03

In this figure I experiment with connecting things with different angles. This is actually a pole and a blocky arc connected through four bars. The pole, to the left, has a constant size, but when the bars connect to it from different angles, they adapt to their angle by varying their width to match the surface of the vertical bar.

I felt that this figure might be hard to comprehend for just about everyone, but I have added a small helpful instruction below the image.

On the left side four bars connect to a single pole, but at different angles, which causes the widths vary. To see this better, start at the right and follow a single bar to the pole, and then follow the pole while ignoring the other bars. Repeat this with the other bars.
