When italian artist Maurizio Catalan taped a banana to the wall, it was news everywhere, so why not copy him? This one will not go rotten, so that an improvement, right?

This artwork starts as a digital piece, brought to life by cutting wood with a robotic laser. These pieces are then painted with spraypaint and ensembled into the final artwork.
