From the artist IG:

These are other points of view. The images exhibit a certain strangeness depending on the point of view from where you stand to observe. This particularity poses an ambiguous situation between form and distortion.

Anamorphic representation, in its distorted nature, raises questions about perception and reality. It makes us aware of the relativity of a single truth and how our individual perspective shapes the interpretation of the world around us and our limited conception of perceiving certain beauty.

Personally I think it is interesting to observe a situation that is initially presented as hegemonic and proportionate only from a single point of view, but as soon as you decide another perspective the deformation is exposed, the sincerity of the disproportion is found, exposing that reality is not a fixed concept.
