If a human looks at a non-human long enough, the human will eventually see another human. From Greek mythology to Star Wars, we project our humanity on everything from clouds & cars to toys & tigers. It makes the world more relatable by casting it in our own image. As Raul Guerrero (@raulguerrerostudio) and Olaf Breuning (@olafbreuning) show us, this is always fun and surprising. Here is a selection of some of our favorites.
The NeverEnding Story, 1984; Olaf Breuning, We Are Such Animals, 2005; Star Wars, Droids, 1977-2020; Max Ernst, The Barbarians, 1937; Raul Guerrero, Five Food Portraits, 2003.
