Ohio-based conceptual photographer Rachel Baran has a knack for taking surreal images of her manipulated body.
The self-taught 20-year-old displays a creative streak and a rich imagination with her visually striking photographs, which range from two hands joined together to a cross-section of her profile that reveals concrete underneath her skin.
Playful, unsettling and thoroughly fascinating, they draw you into her dreamy, surrealist world where fantasy rules.
Check out some of her photographs below and view more at her Facebook and Flickr page.
