  3. They’re faces behind cut up pieces and layered. These photos were created my over lapping pictures and layered them a certain way to where its harder to see the faces behind all the layers. It becomes a puzzle/ art when a picture gets cut up and placed in a different way. The feeling of unknown and confusion with a hint of lost and curiosity.

  7. I believe that these images before were everyday normal things and then the photographer made them look amazing and fun to look at. I think that these photos were created in some kind of program and then edited them through Photoshop. When a photo is cut up and the layers were changed I believe that makes the photo look interesting. When I look at these photos I get mixed emotions but most of the emotions that I get is amazed and surprised.

  10. They looked to be a portrait of a person before they were cut up into different shapes. I believe they were cut and layered differently in Photoshop. It looks like a constant color mirage. It puts me in a dazed feeling.
