For example, if you say something that is green, slender, and has (looks like) lumps and thorns ... yes, it's a "cucumber" -but when you peel it, it's actually a "banana" !
According to the media, these works were created by Tokyo-born artist Hikaru Cho . She uses acrylic paints to paint a variety of vegetables and fruits “unlikely” to create unique and impactful works.
In her hands, bananas turn into cucumbers, eggs into eggplants, and tomatoes into oranges. It seems like an irony (in a good way) to our preconceptions about "food" that what we say on a daily basis may actually be something completely different.
Regarding "It's not what it seems," the media reported:
"This series of works gives us a chance to rethink what we eat every day.
The next time you cut an orange, it will surely make you think about something. "
