These unusual photograms by Kovács Krisztián showcase the human figure—or do they? These freaky negative images look more like human-alien hybrids to me, with a little [light graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) mixed in for good measure.

Click through the gallery above to see the whole series of photograms by Kovács Krisztián. They’re gorgeous—if eerily so.

**Implications** - Abstract art that subtly takes the shape of the human form will create curiosity and intrigue in an audience. Esoteric pieces of abstract art work similarly to [optical illusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow): you think you know what it is but aren't sure, so you continue looking until you figure it out. This kind of mystery will not only help obtain a fan base, but help maintain it as well.
