Look closely at these foods before you make any judgments. They're the handiwork of the very talented Japanese artist Hikaru Cho, whose amazing body art we've admired before.
The 21-year-old Cho studies at Tokyo's Musashino Art University, where she applies her chosen theme, "Unusual," to all of her work. (And yes, that's definitely an adjective we'd use to describe her portfolio.)
While she's generally taken her acrylics to human skin in the past, Cho told The Huffington Post that painting on foods wasn't so different -- anything other than paper is fair game, in her mind. "Actually," she wrote, "I think I would paint on anything if I had ideas."
Take a look below to see for yourself how some things aren't what they seem. (If you like these, check out this hilarious comic based on the works.)
Here we have a head of lettuce...
Just kidding.
But surely this is an eggplant!
Or maybe it's not.
Here's a nice orange, though.
Nope.
Whatever this was has definitely expired...
Or has it??
At least we've got this cucumber.
Oh.
