Japanese artist Yuki Matsueda creates sculptures in which an element of the artwork bulges out of the canvas leaving the rest behind. It’s as if a single element was magically brought to life. The 34-year old doctor (he has a Ph.D. in Design) uses a heat press to mold PET plastic into shapes that hold the bulging element in mid-air, creating a surreal, dreamlike sequence of events that appear frozen in time.

You can see more of his work on his website.
