ABSTRACT This article observes two objects of natural form through an electron microscope. The first object is an old paper; its beautiful texture is hardly visible on its surface and it resembles the nature that we commonly see. The second object is nanoflowers. Although it is a natural form, it is also an artificial chemical that is invisible to the human eye. This paper aims to present a new perspective on the action of seeing by collectively expressing two microworlds and elements of nature that are seen in everyday life, which are similar to the environment but utterly different from each other. Surrealist painter René Magritte's technique of dépaysement creates a stranger scene by removing a specific object from the context of common sense and placing it in a complicated situation, giving the observer a new shock. I intend to present a unique technique of artistic expression that has been grafted and evolved into the microscopic world.
