Potato Portraits by Ginou Choueiri

Las Papas art installation by Ginou Choueiri consists of hundreds of potato portraits that grow, live, and then eventually decay and die.

“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.” - Ginou Choueiri [via]

I don't think I'll look at potato the same way again!
