You may not believe it at first, but these sculptures made by Japanese artist Hideki Kuwajima is made out of found objects -- often children toys, to be exact. As though she were forming colorful, 3D inkblots, her creations are symmetrical yet abstract.
Hideki Kuwajima's work is so celebrated that she has created unique installations for Hermes and she is currently showing at the Radi-Um Von Roentgenwerke Art Gallery in Tokyo. If you're not in the area to view her work in person, enjoy some of Hideki Kuwajima's work in the gallery featured.
