PHOTOS: Indonesian graphic designer creates surreal Inception-style images

If our erratic dreams can somehow be captured in photographs, they’d probably look like Jati Putra Pratama’s stunning artwork.

Jati is a graphic designer in Jakarta who creates mind-bending (and head-bending) landscapes. The surreal landscape photos on his Instagram account initially caught the imagination of many on Reddit before going viral across the internet.

Below is one of our favorite photos, which might remind you of that scene in Christopher Nolan’s Inception where Leonardo di Caprio bent the landscape of Paris in a dream.
