This collection of captures by photographer Marek Chaloupka feature hands and feet as seen through [murky milk glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv), which gives the entire set a hauntingly ghost-like aesthetic.

The set of snaps by Chaloupka are quite simple in design, but have a lot to say when viewing the final product. Is it indeed just hands and feet that we're looking at? The process would have us thinking differently and we're left with a rather stark feeling after letting the shots sink in.

[Photographs have the inane ability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio) to make us happy, sad, scared and just about any other emotion that comes to mind. This set, although meant to conjure fear and doubt, actually calls us to realize that the only thing that's bringing about fear is fear itself because the shots don't feature anything frightening at all.
