The intriguing project ‘Cinq Fruits’ by Le Creative Sweatshop is a tumblr featuring still pictures of [bizarre sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1). The French creative studio mixes a variety of artistic influences and ideas to produce a series of random pieces.

Self-described as "object, picture and vitamin handmade," this unusual tumblr is all about art and [Dali-like imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection). With graphic fusions of different elements and strange art materials like [fruits, wax, jelly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-lamp) and paint, these sculptures are thought-provoking and symbolic. Also, the site is accompanied by a weird soundtrack that includes a distorted remix of Drake's I'm on One.

From bananas to Donald Duck, the tumblr ‘Cinq Fruits’ is an artistic explosion of imagery from the deep inside of an active subconscious.
