Ginou Choueiri is Lebanese artist living in Beirut. She says about her potato portraits:
“I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms. Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature.”

Needlework by early-20th-century psychiatric patient Johanna Natalie Wintsch mixes enigmatic statements with theosophical symbolism, giving form to the inner thoughts of private and perceived worlds. In one work, text stitched in red and blue thread around the perimeter of the fabric forms a frame around an empty center that reads, ‘Qui se mire bien se voit’ (He who mirrors himself well, sees well) and ‘Les Yeux Dans Les Yeux’ (The Eyes In the Eyes).
