Featured on the new Icon magazine cover for its 'The Future of Food' issue is this gorgeous photo of a colorful paper hamburger. This ultra-cool origami burger is created using electric-colored pieces of paper, as is evident from its neon blue bun and green and orange slices of Swiss cheese.
Contained in a plastic box and jacked up with wires of the same vibrant hues, this piece implies that the artist is commenting on the modification of foods and the negative implications associated with that practice. However, it is quite possible that this blue, pink, purple, green and orange paper sculpture may actually make you crave some fast food. After all, could anyone really resist this delicious-looking meal from the cover of Icon magazine?
