Inspired by a dream he had on a flight from South America to Spain, Barcelona-based illustrator Jaume Montserrat created a illustrated series featuring other-worldly animals that are literally unraveling.
In the dream, he lived on a Noah’s Ark-like island with animals for 29 days.
“On this island, there was only one animal from each specimen (kind of like Noah’s Ark). All of them were empty, asexual and immortal. They didn’t need to hunt, nor were they scared of being hunted – so there was a perfect symbiosis.”
While these illustrations come across as being a little disturbing at first, one would be able to sense the peacefulness that inspired them upon a closer look.
