Beauty is in the Eye of the Pin Holder Posted: 5 months ago by bornbad
Anyone who has lost a piece of work they have slaved over – a file erased forever, say – will know the word traumatic sometimes doesn’t put too fine a point on the experience.

Potato Portraits by Ginou Choueiri Posted: 6 months ago by AutumnLotus
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.
