South Africa-based photographer Anelia Loubser has an intriguing series tited ‘Alienation’ featuring bizarre close-up photographs of human faces taken upside down.
By simply flipping photographs of eyes and foreheads, Loubser challenges our perceptions and encourages us to look at things more closely, resulting in images that feel at once familiar but strange.
According to her project description, it was inspired by a quote from American self-help author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Check out more images below, and view the rest of her series here.
