Confidence 4 the Misfit Voices

Brooklyn-based artist, Navid Baraty’s latest project “WANDER Space Probe” creates a fictional universe constructed from food and home supplies. Partially edible, Baraty’s photographs are made by arranging household items on a scanner. With the help of a pinch of sugar, cinnamon, flour, and a glass of coffee, Baraty produces stunning images of an alternate galaxy.

Featuring nebulas, stars, and distant planets, take a look below to see what type of supplies Baraty uses to create a cosmic experience.
