Vik Muniz--Re-creating Images with Everyday Material

I heard an interview the other morning with Vik Muniz, a brazilian artist with whom many of you are most likely familiar, who uses everyday items like food products, sequins, and even dust in order to re-create both popular and art images like the peanut butter and jelly Mona Lisas to the left. I began to think about the idea of recreating an image with a different medium and how the embodied message component and shift because of that. Just a little tidbit for thought. . .nothing too profound:)
