New York-based artist Seth Wulsin created an incredible piece of art that proves that perspectives are subjective. Entitled Ánimas, which means "the soul of a dead person" in Spanish, the series consists of a large installation composed of several portraits incorporated into one.

Like a hologram, this collection of [suspended mesh screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-installation) projects a different face depending on the location of the viewer in relation to the piece. Each portrait is connected to one another in order to create the [fascinating visual effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). Like a group of floating souls that have the ability to appear or reappear, these screens are spooky, yet fascinating.

In a world of multiple perspectives, the work by Seth Wulsin proves that all are important to complement the whole globe.
