These incredible LEGO pictures by Nathan Sawaya cross the beloved building block toy company with real life. The combination has led to a fun guessing game that may trick your brain.
Each one of the LEGO pictures contains an impressively realistic LEGO build implemented into everyday scenery. Some of the constructs include a lovely red dress, a bathing towel and a pair of flip flops. I won't spoil the rest, because it is fun to try and find the LEGO items within the pictures.
It's interesting to see the playful toy company seen in such a sophisticated light. It fits in quite well with this cultured and artistic project. The project was done in collaboration with the photographer Dean West.
