Humans and animals are thought of as having feelings, so why not fruits; the Crazy Fruits art series may convince you of the fact that apples and oranges are the most sensitive creatures out there.
The Crazy Fruits series was created by artist Alexander Zapadenko, a designer from Kiev, Ukraine who focuses on digital art and icon design. The fruits in Crazy Fruits are just like the ones you buy from the grocery store, except "they do not want to be eaten," as described by Alexander himself on the Behance Network. Staring up at you with sad and pleading eyes, the Crazy Fruits series will make you feel more than guilty for taking a bite out of them.
Fruits may be delicious and healthy for you, but the Crazy Fruits series may have you second guessing your morals the next time you decide to eat one.
