Using a triptych in design has long been used as a way to create an exaggerated effect on a wall space using a set of 3 images. The conventional way of doing this is by splitting an image into 3 equal pieces and mounting them on a wall. Hieronymous Bosch was an early user of this technique
The panels themselves become masterpieces in their own right.

And when separated:
The top half with just Table Mountain and the sand element as a square triptych:
Which could then provide a synergy in different space applications:
And with the Sand Element:
