British artist Jessica Harrison is known for her odd and surreal works of art.

Yet that doesn't stop it from being oddly fascinating.

Below are some examples of her works:

On one hand, you have the classic antiquity of a porcelain doll. On the other, there's this sublime yet sickening display of gore.

There's still something very beautiful about these dolls, regardless of how grotesque they may seem.

Maybe it's because we're drawn to the underlying message that these dolls may hold. We're all seemingly normal people, but what really lies beneath our exterior? Maybe the person sitting next to you, as innocent and naive as they seem, as ulterior motives. They may very well have the desire to maim and murder a certain individual, and there's a chance that that person can be you.
