Food is as common as common can be. And art is usually thought to be as something that goes beyond common, mundane things, something that aspires to the stars. Therefore it's always interesting to see how artists resolve the tension between the common and the uncommon. There are millions examples of still life drawings in art galleries that answer that question uniquely in each case.

Marui Michi, the Japanese artist, is of the same ilk. For the last few years, food has been the primary object in this designer, artist, and illustrator's works. And as artists usually do, she has taken her own unique perspective and transformed it in her own image.
