The true reality of the advertisements of McDonald's Big Mac, Burger King's Whopper, McDonald's Angus Deluxe TP and Taco Bells' Crunchy Taco versus the reality of what you get in the bag. One valiant photographer, Dario D., has chosen to challenge these contradictions of the senses head on.

Photographer Mark Menjivar has created a series of portraits looking inside people’s fridges. The series was completed of a span of three years in homes all over the united states. Each photograph is shot ‘as is’ and represents a wide swath of people.

This led him to ask people to photograph their fridge.

Every piece of the sculpture is made from the vegetable, including their clothes, hats and jewellery.
