Getting Mouthy

I like how many meanings there are for things. 
It gives you a lot of options,
yet it's also cause for confusion. 
To me, these images are structured confusion. 

Extra Reading:
Carl Warner: Warner began his artistic career as an illustrator, but transitioned to photography after he realized that a photographic outlet was better suited to his artistic talents. The results are often interesting when a photographer originally studies something besides photography; you are able to see those previous interests shine through in their photographs. This definitely holds true for Warner. One of my favorite projects of Warner's is his photographs of nude human bodies. The bodies are layered in a way that make them look like landscapes. Warner's work offers a unique and surreal perspective that is worth checking out. 
MRI Scans of Fruits and Vegetables: This is self-explanatory, and it is amazing. Go stare at the moving images--they are pretty hypnotic.
