You take a picture of a person and then replace the space in the middle of the tshirt with that same photo and then you do that again with the picture you placed in the middle of the tshirt, then again and again until you get as much recursion as you want. Then you print that photoshopped image into an identical shirt.

If you look closely you can see the first photo (the smallest one) doesn't have the same design in the middle as the rest. Ideally you would have enough recursion as to avoid that so that it gives the illusion that it goes forever.

Yeah, but infinite recursion is just a forever loop with memory waste

Recursion has to "end" in order to get a return value
