Images That Make You Question What’s Actually Happening

When something feels out of place.

There are images that can generate wonder, confusion, discomfort because something doesn't quite fit, or that compel us to look at them more than once.

There are photographs that capture a specific moment because they take an unusual perspective or angle, or because they produce an optimal illusion that disconcerts us.

In our daily lives, we might see balconies that appear perfectly aligned, forcing us to pause, a dog that seems to have two colors, or a cat that appears to have stakes embedded in its body.

These images function as visual mysteries where logic is absent and what we see seems absurd.
