Inspired by how the imagination wanders when boredom strikes, photographer Lauren Hillebrandt takes ordinary food items and turns them into sensual fruits through erotic imagery.
Titled 'Just Fruits,' it is evident that the artist wants to play tricks on the mind, encouraging viewers to see something naughty in a pile of produce. Even those who don't have a dirty mind will be able to decipher the sexual nature of the photographs, and ironically, it is actually more challenging to see the fruits and vegetables for what they are.
Temptingly delicious and erotic, the way Hillebrandt portrays sensual fruits is a playful way for the artist to toy with the way people's minds tend to travel towards sex.
