“I see commonalities between humans and potatoes that speak to our relationship as individuals within a collective species.
Generally, the life of a harvested potato is violent and taken for granted. I use the potato as a proxy for the ontological study of the human experience,” said the photographer.
The photograph was taken in 2010, when a batch of organic vegetables was delivered to his home.
Abosch’s other work includes photographs of celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Malala Yousafzai and Steven Spielberg and a series of portraits of people from Ireland. - News 24
