NOTIONS OF THE UNKNOWN
Have you ever had the notion that somebody is watching you? Ever since man began studying astronomy, it has been said that we are the only source of life in our galaxy. Sometimes we wonder, what if there was another source of life somewhere else other than the earth? Perhaps there is another planet which has a more advanced lifestyle and we have not discovered it yet. The question whether extraterrestrial creatures exist or not will always be in the minds of many people. The following series of artworks featuring famous American artists Ian Cheng, Cy Gavin, and Chris Hood leave the minds of the viewers in wonder by showing different types of scenarios in which unknown creatures interact with nature. These images can drive the minds of the viewers into thinking that perhaps our world is very small to the eyes of other creatures and that there is a lot out there that still needs to be studied and therefore remains unknown.
