Stumbled upon this interesting work by everyone’s favourite Lebanese artist Ginou Choueiri. 

She explains her project on her site:

potatoface2-thumb1

‘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’.

Hm. I don’t know about that. But still, look! Potatoes with funny faces!
