Ginou Choueiri - Potato Portraits
“I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms. Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature.”
I don't know about you, but I'm creeped out by how realistic these are. I'd hate to see what they look like a couple weeks after completion. On the other hand though, it certainly does show a certain level of ingenuity and imagination on the part of Ginou Choueiri.
