Ginou Choueiri

This is an ephemeral installation displaying hundreds of potato heads that grow sprout, then decay and die.

I chose the potato to portray the human face due to the many striking parallels: their porous skin, their similar color, and like us, they come in different shapes and sizes.

The portraits are that of friends, family, people I've met along the way, as well as politicians and pop stars. 

Prints of  the Potato Portraits are now available for purchase at the following link:
