The Secret Lives of Fruits and Vegetables by Maciek Jasik

Inspired by intriguing stories and symbolism behind fruits and vegetables, Polish photographer Maciek Jasik captures these healthy foods enveloped in smoke and color in an effort to bring back the “mystical, invisible qualities that have been lost amidst the clamor of nutritional statistics.”

“The modern world has separated us from the origins and uses of fruits and vegetables; we know them only for the flavors and textures they provide. Until only very recently, each held its own mystique, mythology, symbolism and connection to the culture and afterlife.”
