Seung Woo Back's work is in comparison to my final piece of work, which is the Fantasy Landscape, by digitally manipulating an image. He takes parts from one image and pastes them onto another picture, like I did with mine. He places famous buildings and landmarks, such as the leaning tower of Pisa, The Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, and many more, in a different place of the world. He makes them look realistic too, and it doesn't look like he has cut and paste, it looks like it could be a real place.
