Michael Jantzen's 'Deconstructing the Churches' photo series breaks down several [holy facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-church-tolvkanten) in a way that questions the permanence of structural integrity.

The artist rotated various points of each building to create the illusion of [fragmented, crumbling buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees) that still stand upright and appear to be balanced despite their haphazard and chaotic construction.

Each snapshot somewhat resembles the [cubism style of design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) reminiscent of the late Pablo Picasso, with their interlocking details which have been disassembled from their original state and then re-arranged to create a new form.

The collection questions the stability of objects and reminds viewers that everything can change and be reworked into something new. Despite having a long-standing history as one object, nothing lasts forever and there always exists room to change and improve.
