Surrealism shows up constantly in artwork and photography, but it takes a special series to come along and create awe-inspiring surrealism that really makes viewers think.

Photographer Francesca [Ferrari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosso) has created a collection of work that stands out. She uses a [mix of primary colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama), as well as combining different gray scale pieces. The variants in the colors really call for attention, and the topic of her work is what makes her series so interesting. Ferrari creates odd situations that lend themselves to overall confusion. The viewer isn't ever really sure what exactly is happening. This awe-inspiring surrealism borders the line between reality and fantasy, and the result is a series of incredibly memorable photographs.
