Baked in custom made molds and decorated with special techniques … these ‘bread’ are the work of artist baker Kittiwat Unarrom.



Since 2006 Thai artist Kittiwat Unarrom (whose family also runs a bakery) has used
dough as his medium to sculpt gruesome renditions of hand, feet, heads, torsos and
other body parts. The results are unnervingly realistic with eyes, lips & other details
constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes
make the work all the more creepy. Sold at his family's bakery in the Thai province
of Ratchaburi (100 km east of Bangkok), he displays the parts wrapped like food
in plastic and hung from meat hooks. The almost real looking deceased body parts
are an example of the Buddhist principle – 'you shouldn’t believe what you see'.

Watch the video below to see Unarrom at work and some visitors' reactions.
