Japanese paper cutout artist SouMa (@SouMaNoKirie) posted four photos on her Twitter account, eliciting many reactions of surprise and disbelief.
The pictures look like glasses and plastic bottles. The glasses, in particular, show the beauty of the delicate patterns even more clearly due to the reflection of the light.
However, as you can probably guess, the photos were not of real glasses or plastic bottles. Rather, they were of the artist's paper cutouts!
No matter how hard you stare at them, they look like the real thing!

Even if you know it's a paper cutout, it's hard to believe.
