What do you make of this new LEGO creation by Jarek Książczyk? Is it merely a neat piece of abstract art or is there something more sinister afoot? Is it an infected cell? The fungus responsible for jock itch? Maybe it’s a sentient planet from another dimension? Perhaps some unnamable Lovecraftian horror? Commenters on Jarek’s flickr page have lots of theories stewing with no confirmation from the builder. A common notion among the comments is it’s both beautiful and unsettling. If you look close, there are some amazing textures created; my favorite detail just might be the black tendrils extending just beyond the frame. What I imagine this to be is some sort of Invasion of the Body Snatchers situation going on; by the time you’ve admired its shape, you will have already been taken over and replicated for reasons known only to alien space plants. What do you think it is?
