The best part about art is that it challenges our conceptions of reality. These artists decided to blow the minds of passers by with larger-than-life sculptures. Seeing these from afar may not move you…

But when you’re up close and personal with something this big, it’s overwhelming. These are the kinds of sculptures you’d want to see in person.
