Considered Povey's most advanced mural, THE HALL OF ILLUSION depicts the journey through life, divided onto seven stages in seven distinct panels, separated by faux stonework. Each stage is regarded as a new form of illusion, until at the final stage the old man embraces the child that he once was – in a scene of self-acceptance.
