I think the potatoes which I use along with my meat are looking somewhat different today when I came across the potato portraits of Lebanese artist Ginou Choueiri. When you look at her work above you will realize that she has certainly put life in the potatoes which we consume everyday.
When I looked at the potatoes I was shocked at the moment and felt that real human faces have been implanted on the potatoes. Believe me they look so full of life after having passed through the hands of Ginou Choueiri.
Just have a look at what Ginou Choueiri has to say about it:
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.
