Escher was fascinated by topography, the study of surfaces, a branch of mathematics. In many of his works, he uses the concept of the Penrose triangle, or "impossible triangle," first designed by the mathematician Roger Penrose. There is also a relationship to the Möbius strip, the single sided loop of material. Escher also used a technique that mathematician study called tesselation.
