Holy mother of magnification.

the reverse of clear air makes objects looking nearer as they are.

water magnifies. (look into an pool which isn’t too deep an you see what i mean.

an a photo which depicts both elements (in water and out of water) looks of course strange to the normal eye.

it might be shopped (2 pics one over the water one under) to increase the “alienation” but i think it’s a play of angle and distance.

light in water acts differntly to light in air. It bounces off every particle in the water and distorts the image of the two girls, making the imagine below the water larger. Water kinda acts like a magnifier.
I’m a high school grade C student and even i know that!!! Also if you look at the surface of water from below it it acts like a silver mirror and you cant see above it, unlike if you look down on the surface you can see the bottom!

In Chinese culture it is very attractive to have a small head

Water distorts things, making them seem bigger. Taken from a unique angle,it makes them look like they have small heads. And I think they’re Japanese, not Chinese.

Yoda82 is one of the few who have it right here. Don’t you does remember elementary school science. What light passes through water gets distorted. That’s why you can use a drop of water as a magnifying glass
