Warning: this is a link to a pdf

Oh really? So that's why it has ".pdf" at the end!

Explains a lot.

Doesnt load for me, anyone have another link?

For me it immediately starts downloading the file instead of opening in the browser as PDF. Maybe it's already in your download folder?

The relevant images are:

"Apply Transformation" = Mesh tool in photoshop

Probably not, the images are very garbled because they are meant to be viewed in a polished cylinder. See what I found: https://repozytorium.biblos.pk.edu.pl/redo/resources/27069/file/suwFiles/ZdziarskiA_RzutAnamorficzno.pdf#page=27

This is probably not it, it's too old (1997) and by a male student. Anyway, here are the keywords for your research:
anamorfoza w malarstwie praca doktorska filetype:pdf

Edit: The "Lover's Embrace" could be a misremembering of Para kochanków ("Pair of Lovers") by Jan Ziarnko (1608), and this article, which might be it (not a thesis but by a female Polish scholar in 2014), includes a decoded version: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/706976.pdf#page=3 (NSFW)

The cylinder cannot be damaged in any way

Anamorphography.

That's not surprising. A benchmark photo for image compression is from Playboy.
