Harvezt is an artist who likes to see things from a different perspective. The artist's latest pieces involve iconic album art that have been reversed, so that viewers can see things from the backside.
Metallica, The Beatles and Nirvana have all made it into Harvezt's roster. The iconic Abbey Road cover, for example, is flipped so that viewers see a police man blowing a whistle to allow the young group to cross the road. The floating baby from Nirvana is now seen with his bum front and center, so that viewers get a look at how this scene would appear from the other side of the pool.
According to DesignBoom, "the realizations predict a varied aspect of each scene, cleverly allowing the viewer a completely altered glimpse into the famous images."
