19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Delusion #15

Our subconscious is inconceivable and versatile. It is able to create multiple nonexistent images which are extremely diverse and have different effects on our conscious. These images can astonish or scare you, make you happy or delighted, they can catch your imagination or make you fall into a trance. But no matter what kind of emotions they evoke, they are always amazing, bright and memorable like hallucinations that communicate with our subconscious. Phantoms from the very depths of our soul which look like mythical creatures. Just look at them! They have an astonishing ability to inveigle you and to have a dialogue with our mind. Listen to them! What are they telling us about?
