Beautiful but disgusting!

We recently saw this image on a poster advertising a show at the Royal Academy of Arts. From a distance it looks exactly like a photo of a mouldy lemon, but on closer inspection you can see it is a very cleverly constructed model covered in beads.
Someone must have devoted hours to the study of mouldy fruit so as to reproduce the colours and patterns so precisely. It's so life-like you can almost smell the decomposition as you look at it. It’s really very clever, and executed so perfectly – but I wouldn’t want it in my living room!

@Fleura It proves that I am not alone in Trypophobia .It is mainly due to psychological factor.

@changjiangzhibin89 I had never heard of it before, I confess I laughed! But since then I have found that it is a known phobia, although not officially recognised.

I agree. There are better concepts to work on.
