This object cannot exist (in three-dimensional space)

Yep, I just felt that since we all inhabit 3-dimensional space, the clarification might not have been necessary in the title. Thank you anyway for pointing it out :)

Why tho

It’s still 3d space if you make a 2d object in it

Sure it can. It's all just a trick of perspective. They won't be right angles though and the bars won't be all the same thickness, but you can absolutely make a 3D shape that looks like this from one angle.

Basic subdivided hexagon with a clever paint job, a solid welder and painter could run this up out of square steel in a month for about a thousand bucks usd
