Using just a paintbrush and an eye for the elusive, Tokyo-born artist Hikaru Cho disguises fruits and vegetables as other foods. Sounds simple enough? Hardly. Her ability to transform produce requires a meticulous sense of skill.

The result: a series of work that is so convincing it forces us to reconsider the every day objects we consume daily. Cho succeeds in altering our reality, even if it’s just for moment. Something to think about next time you slice into that orange.
