Life Emerges Inside These Elaborately Carved Wooden Books

These elaborately carved wooden books by Nino Orlandi are so surreal. The Italian sculpture has spent 13 years dedicated to his passion perfecting the technique of sculpting these realistic wooden sculptures and they’re seriously amazing.

The series showcased below features Orlandi’s impressive wooden works which include pieces entitled The Book of Life, The Magin Mountain, and The Book Of Dreams.

Each sculpture portrays its own mysterious character in various forms with the same magical effect. Check out the gallery of images below.
