'Devour' from Christopher Jonassen is an incredibly creative photo project, which transforms [frying pans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stainless-steel-frypan) into planets. The frying pan-to-planet transformation is a lot simpler than you would think, requiring only a dirty or scratched pan to be placed against a black background. The resulting photos will give you a renewed appreciation for [dirty dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series).

Normally I'm not much of a fan of modern art, but I am actually quite smitten with 'Devour' from Christopher Jonassen. This project is so clever and easy to execute that it makes you wonder what other unknown art projects are lying around your own home. You can see a few sample shots from 'Devour' here, and be sure to keep reading below to see other [outer space-inspired art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-collection) and designs from the Trend Hunter archives.
