People saying ai, maybe, but they make molds which radishes etc. are grown in and sold as a novelty in China and maybe other places.

Mr_Wobble ,

In the year 2024, with AI and Photoshop so prevalent, and without any supporting info even suggesting legitimacy, this isn’t even mildly interesting.

Tolookah ,

Looking it up, it turns out it’s an actual turnip, carved to look like this.

Mr_Wobble ,

I stand corrected! Thank you for looking up and finding that interesting context.

BleatingZombie ,

That’s what I was hoping! That’s genuinely impressive

Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it’s acrylic urethane with real Daikon leaves:

Tolookah ,

Well now I’m sad. Thanks for looking deeper than me!

It’s still a really cool piece of art! Their other works are really fascinating and well-executed too - I especially like the kiwi with the hairy butthole and the… uh… scrotumfruit?

mugthol ,

This looks like AI, too many details in the toes, rest of the foot, legs and knees. It would be a wonder to find one such turnip, let alone a matching one

It’s too good for AI, but photoshop, maybe AI in photoshop idk…

mugthol ,

Yeah, photoshop is also possible, but I think a human would have tried to make it at least believable (no nails on the toes for example)

wjrii ,

I wonder if this an evolution of the square watermelons known in Japan.

mugthol ,

I doubt you could make it have this level of details and I think that technique cannot be used for stuff that is grown in the soil

wjrii ,

You’re probably right, and this in particular seems to be a sculpture with a turnip plant glued on top, per @Tolookah

lolrightythen ,

That def makes the most sense aside from Photoshop or AI.

I don’t know much about growing produce, but I’d think making a mold for something that grows underground would be more difficult than something that grows on top of the soil.

*My bad- should have read previous comments closer. Good convo yall

It has the correct number of toes so not AI.
