Clothing Line

It's an image of a woman on a ladder against a electrical wire. 
There is a big meadow with a long electrical wire. Here you see a woman hanging up clothes on the electrical wire while standing on a ladder. There is also a red house on the right along with trees. On the right there is a house and trees On the left it is an empty grass land with sheep, or some other animals running.  In the background the wire goes on forever. You can see hills as well. The viewers attention is drawn to the woman hanging clothes on an electrical wire. 

Looking over a cliff

It's an image of a man looking over what appears to be a road that turned into a cliff.

In the image the man looks like he was on a bike ride and stopped because his path turned into a cliff. The man is leaning over looking down the cliff. Everything is going straight down. In the background there is a normal road and the mans bike. In the mid ground you can see the cliff. Above the cliff you can see the man looking down. The viewers attention is drawn to the big cliff that was once a road. The photo makes us feels confused as to how and why this happened.

Kayaking on glass

It's an image of a man kayaking on normal water that turned into broken pieces of glass. The man started off kayaking on a normal lake as he got further the water started to "break" and turn into broken pieces of glass. Underneath the glass is dirt and dead fish. The man is looking down at this unordinary occurrence. In the background you can see a lake and trees lining around the lake. In the mid ground you can see a man standing on a kayak. In the front you can see dead fish sprawled on the ground. The photo makes the viewers feel puzzled at how this happened.

Man walking through empty room

It's an image of a man in a robe walking through a hallway but the hallway splits and becomes part of an empty field. The man is holding a cup of coffee at night in his robe. He is seemingly walking through a room in a house that starts to look like a hallway or room and in the middle becomes an empty field and then goes back to being an ordinary room. In the mid ground you can clearly see the hallway and the man. In the background you can see an empty field at night. In the right bottom corner of the room is a small table lamp. The viewers attention is drawn to the fact that the man is casually walking through an empty grass field going to go through another door. The photo makes us wonder if the man knows this is happening or if its in a sense normal to him. 

Man painting a painting

It's an image of a man standing on the side of a large body of water. This man appears to be painting what he sees. What's odd about this painting is that part of the mans body, the part that is against the painting, is turning into a painting too. The man becomes part of his painting as he continues to paint. In the foreground you see the man and his painting. To the bottom left you can see his art supplies and extra paints. In the background you can see the body of water and the same tree that the man is painting. The viewers attention is drawn to the mans body slowing fading and turning into a painting. This photo makes us confused and question if he is painting himself in the painting. 

Man in boots

It's an image of a man who is inside a enormous boot and the boots are moving with him or for him. The man appears to be inside the left boot with reins in his hands. It looks like he is guiding the boots like a horse. The man is in a dirt path and the sky is blueish gray. The left boot has rope attached to the right boot, but that rope is the shoe lace. It's funny because the photo is like trying to get a message across. "You're feet will guide you to the right path but you make the choices" is the message I feel like this portrays. In the mid ground you can see the boots with the man inside. In the background you can see the sky and some trees along the horizon. At the bottom of the image is just a plain dirt path with circles or rings imprinted in it. The viewers attention is drawn to the size of the boots and the small man inside because normally you're shoes are smaller than you. This photo makes me feel confused about why the boots are so big and how the man got there. 

Scissor house 

It's an image of a red house in a big empty lot. There are huge scissors in the back and gray skies. In the photo there is a woman in the house that is looking at the huge crack down the ground and split through her house. She seems angry and stunned at this mess. It appears to the viewers that these huge scissors made a crack through the world. On the left you can see the red house that has been split. In the background you can see the scissors that continue to cut through the ground. On the right is a big bush or tree. The viewers attention is drawn to the huge scissors and the crack it has made through the ground. This photo makes you think if its 2 dimensional and is a paper that has been cut.
