We felt almost dizzy while perusing these Cubic Worlds by Petey Ulatan. But somehow, we couldn’t look away, the work felt so unique and compelling.

Inspired by the mind-bending, surrealist visuals of Christopher Nolan’s Inception, which thrust audiences into worlds that warp and contort in ways that boggle the mind, we encounter even more audacious effects here.

Entire horizons defy gravity, tilting unnaturally, while scenes of oceans plunge off monstrous cliffs, suggesting we’re trapped on a flat earth—a tantalizing illusion that dares us to question reality itself.

It’s a trick of photo editing, but it is visually arresting and hypnotizing, bringing us so outside our realm of normalcy.
