“That’s what you get for being food.” -Margaret Atwood
Sure, we need food to live. But in our world of highly processed, easily-accessible foods, unless we're doing the prep and cooking ourselves, it's easy to lose touch with what the raw ingredients are actually all about. Have a listen to Australia-based band, The Middle East's amazing tune,

By taking 98 different foods and constructing 2.5 cm cubes out of them, they've showcased the intricate, unique and natural design of a variety of fruits, vegetables and meats. And with it, I feel, they've really captured what the essence of these foods actually are.
