Perception V Reality

I enjoy this topic for its aesthetic value as well as its concept. It is an escape from reality and also a trick to our eyes. With photoshop, the illusion of seeing what isn't real becomes seamless. We can express any concept by altering a picture to our favor. In Kelsey's project, she showed an original image before showing the photoshopped version. I thought this was extremely effective because it starts us in reality before breaking away to the person's perception.
