Kanemaki Sculpts Human Figures from Logs of Wood
While he is carving a man and skeleton out of wood, Yoshitoshi Kanemaki is analyzing and questioning mortality… he thinks to himself, “What is Life?” “What is Death?” Questions most of us have asked ourselves, yet Kanemaki doesn’t have a clear answer for them.

Insane Junk Food Sculptures
Taking aim at the world’s sweet tooth and the sheer amount of junk food waste that as human beings we produce, photographer James Ostrer has crafted a visually stimulating project full of nightmarish candy fantasies.
