I think what ruins this for me is the ground. At first, the perspective of the top of the wall implies that we are below the wall, meaning it makes sense for the ground to appear as a relatively straight horizontal line. But at the end, the perspective implies that we are looking from above the wall. The shape of the wall should be visible at the bottom.

This might be fixable if the shape of the ground was extended further horizontally, instead of being just a short line where the lines meet the ground. This would make it possible to see it as a hill or edge of a moat hiding the rest of the wall which extends further downwards.

just my 2 cents, but it's a cool idea so you get my upvote anyway :)

Even with the ground fixed, this still doesn't work.The character turns 90 degrees, picks up the flag, and the replaces it on an already understood wall. You have to try to see the effect, as well as know to look for it.

My dude, it's not supposed to work. That was the point of Escher's art.
