French artist Cristian Girotto has a series that showcases bright, tasty candy as weapons of war, creating a juxtaposition and irony that feels very relevant in today’s society.  Our collective obsession with violence, coupled with our diets laden with sugar, it’s a bit of dark humor that gets to a number of core feelings. Entitled “To the Last Candy”, the series features artfully sculpted gummies and licorices, formed to create machine guns, military drones, brass knuckles, and even Molotov cocktails. Great stuff, via Behance:
