The pictures you see here are from an art piece by Spanish designer Nacho Carbonell called “Fertility Cave.” I can only assume that this alludes to reproductive organs.
As seen above, Carbonell, one of the four winners of 'The Designers of the Future Award 2009,' is curled up in the fetal position hugging his artwork. In another photo, he seems to literally be inside of the “Fertility Cave.”
Creepy? You decide.
Implications - Personally, I am able to appreciate the incredible talent it takes to create an award-winning piece of art like this, but it is hard for me to look at art like Nacho Carbonell's 'Fertility Cave' and not be creeped out. Let me know what you think.
