Human thoughts and imaginations have shaped the world as we see it now.
Some are instantly labeled as a success, while some take some time to get used to!
I am sure, everyone has come across situations where they thought..”Well that’s weird!”.
Some would even take it to the next level..”You know what will more weird!?”
Well today lets look at some such thoughts shaped into statues, which are not exactly mainstream.
The artists have deviated from conventional rules of design, and created some whacky stuff..so enjoy!
