Here is kind of what you see when you look at it in person, walking around and looking at it from different points of view.
Here is a photograph of my relief Mortar and Pestle:

I wish you could move around my reliefs so they come alive. 20 of my reliefs will be on view at the Cahoon Museum of American Art from Mid March to Mid May, 2019. The opening reception is Friday, April 12 at 4:30.
Bear in mind that the eye is more complex than any camera. There is much we don't understand about how we see and interpret what we see. I do know that unlike two dimensional paintings, photographs or digital images, in relief, we perceive and interpret the light image reflecting off its many relief surfaces and edges in the same manner we perceive and interpret light reflecting off objects in our three dimensional world. Thus relief is one step closer to portraying reality.
These photos of reliefs can only give you an idea of their subject matter, not how they look, in person, to the human eye.
