Piece description from the artist
This is a still life based on a drawing that I had done where each piece of food, represents a part of the human form. Almost like a body in surgery. The swiss represents the face with two eyes and a mouth. The brie is the heart. The bok choi is the soul. The coffee is the blood. The apples are the guts and so on. Had a lot of fun making this picture.
