The Son of Man Halloween Costume

Rene Magritte’s painting The Son of Man by surrealist artist Rene Magritte depicts a man in a suit wearing glasses holding a green apple floating before him. Theories on what this painting represents range from religious allegory of Christ’s divinity, conformity, or even being true to yourself versus hiding who you really are. Additionally, its meaning has also been used within popular culture such as movies or music videos.

People are left questioning the reality of an eye-catching Halloween costume created by a mother from Scotland for her son. It took weeks of careful preparation, charity shop bargains and creative thinking on her part to craft such an astonishing invisible man ensemble for his Halloween debut.
