Where, I'm sure, you don't want to fall beyond the event horizon, either. Come to think of it, looking at your picture, you do seem a bit flushed.

There are ways of representing 4D shapes at the very least. The tesseract and if I remember right, the torus are both seen as 4D shapes. The torus is thought to be the shape of the universe and there is a 4D building in France somewhere shaped like a tesseract.
