The Illusion of Soft Rocks by Jiyuseki

Jiyuseki is a Japanese artist with a soft spot for an incredibly hard material– with his handmade craftsmanship, he creates the illusion that stones are actually soft, malleable objects, similar to fabric or foodstuff. The rocks ripple, melt and unzip to reveal their unexpected new qualities, and the illusion is completed with some sparing use of props.
