Artist Adri Wichert' creates amazing scultpures using the medium of photography. These images belong to her 2007 BFA final project at The Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH.

Impressive."Adri Wichert's sculpture/photography focuses on everyday life and events, and the surfaces that surround and preoccupy both the human eye and the digitized lens of her digital camera.
