“Photographer and visible specialist Dan Cretu recreates daily things out of fruit and veggies. With his sculptures, Dan changes common daily eatables into familiar things. Thus a couple of orange become a bicycle, cucumber is used for building a photographic camera and snacks changes to a cheerful face.” – via Ignant.
Between 1405 and 1433, during the Ming era, Chinese Admiral Zheng He, who was also the court eunuch, commanded seven expeditionary voyages as far away as East Africa and Middle East. These expeditions, known in Chinese history as the treasure voyages, consisted of hundreds of ships of enormous dimensions carrying a crew as large as 28,000 and great amounts of treasures. The purpose of the voyages were to project Chinese power and wealth to the outside world, as well as to establish imperial control over the maritime trade.
