Japanese wood carving artist Seiji Kawasaki, creates ultra-realistic looking food made out of wood. Shrimp, bread, fish, potato chips, croissants – he has created them all and more! But it’s not just his carving skills that make the little sculptures look so realistic, it’s his ability to paint them with such detail. Kawaski said the theme of his work is “emergence of qualia“. these are positive, direct and subjective feelings. The person who looks at his work feels like eating even though he knows that it is actually wood.
