# Floating Architecture Photography 'The Silent Enigma' by Francisco Reina is Surreal By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/francisco-reina References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/francisco-reina-architecture-silent-enigma-08-01-2014/) & [franciscoreina](http://www.franciscoreina.com/) This [photography series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) by Francisco Reina titled 'The Silent Enigma' is meant to make one questions what could be taking place inside the walls. It's amazing how a simple update with Photoshop can make one look at a building in a completely different light. The artist states on DesignBoom that "attention is focused on the interior of the house. Mystery lies where our eyes cannot see." Also because these [items are elevated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attic-above-garden), they appear so out of reach, which usually builds the yearning in people even more to find out more about an object. Overall the entire series is very [surreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marison-heler). For someone who is simply trying to make people think about what's inside a house, Francisco Reina has done a great job with this thought-provoking series.
