Art: Potatoes are not only french fries

Ginou Choueri is a libanese artist based in Beirut. She decided to paint human faces on potatoes! Why? I will simply quote her: "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."
