Bocca Della Verità

The mouth of truth has given you cryptic clues on how to reconstruct what is presented to you as apparent. 

You push and pull on the face to distort and change an architectural structure. What can you discover during your playful interaction in this surreal puzzle game?

The Bocca Della Verità is a sculpture set up near the opening of the ancient sewers of rome and is said to have been used as a man hole cover.  A legend says that if you put your hand in its mouth and speak a lie it will take your limb. This kind of tradition or play was the inspiration to use the mouth of truth as an interface.
