Trend Hunter has featured the insanely talented Kevin Van Aelst before and now he is back in our sight once more with his interesting anatomical photos of household items.
Kevin Van Aelst’s photos are said to set out to depict life processes and he says “the images aim to examine the distance between the ‘big picture’ and the ‘little things’ in life — the banalities of our daily lives, and the sublime notions of identity and existence… This work is about creating order where we expect to find randomness, and also hints that the minutiae all around us is capable of communicating much larger ideas.”
