Our imagination is what keeps our busy minds entertained, but it’s sometimes so surreal that it can’t be explained with simple words. Here’s where technology comes in handy. Dreamlike worlds and eccentric environments where anything is possible can actually be visualized when masters of digital art work their magic. And whether the resulting photo manipulations are realistic or out of this world, whether it’s meant to entertain or provoke thoughts, we are often mesmerized and would gladly exchange our casual routine to experience the extraordinary.

Originally from Savannakhet in Laos, this Australia-based photography artist creates unique artworks through photography, digital art, photo editing, and painting. Phonsay Phothisomphane's bizarre, yet intriguingly interesting photos that subtly balance contrasts and harmony was inspired by Buddhism, which played a major role throughout his upbringing. Phonsay uses people, angular architecture, geometrical shapes and patterns, and peacefulness of nature to navigate between reality and imagination in his photo ideas.

Scroll the page to get lost in the mysterious and tranquil world of Phonsay's beautiful photos.

The annual stingray migration is a must-see! Towns along the flight path hold festivals every year, giving visitors plenty of opportunity to join the fun. Alternatively, people may hike up into the mountains for a closer look, either on a self-guided day trip, or with a tour group.

This is like me in life: I'm standing in front of a problem that I can't walk straight through, and I don't see the solutions right by me, cuz I don't see the possibilities in every difficulty, but the difficulties in every possibility
