The work utilizes visual illusions and the audience's exploratory process to convey its message, creating hidden elements that can only be revealed through close observation. Like the knight Percival in search of the Holy Grail in the title, who might unknowingly miss it, this piece also offers a rich visual and sensory experience, provoking reflections on concepts such as seen and unseen, obvious and hidden, reality and ideal. Different audiences may discover the 'Holy Grail' at different moments, and this moment of discovery is itself part of the work. For some, this discovery may happen instantly, while for others, it may take longer or be realized through interaction with others. This diversity of experiences contributes to the multi-layered meaning of the work.

Finally, the title and related description of the piece provide clues to the audience, even if understood afterward. Such information may lead the audience to re-examine the work and gain a sense of 'discovery' that deepens their interaction with it. This interaction and subsequent discovery are essential parts of the artistic experience, extending beyond the immediate impressions of the initial viewing.
