These Creepy, Beautiful Sculptures Are Forever Engrained In Our Memories

If You're Squeamish, Look Away Now

If you are of the squeamish sort, look away now. Choi Xoo Ang, the Seoul born artist and dark master of the imagination, has created sculptures at once hyperrealistic and completely nightmarish, making you feel as if your real life has bled into an inescapable, bad dream.
