Summary
British-Spanish artist Almudena Romero has created an 11,000-square-metre living artwork — a giant human eye grown into a wheat field near Toulouse, France, using photosynthesis as her medium. After three years of cultivation, she plans to harvest the wheat, mill it into flour, and share it with the local community as bread, completing a cycle that transforms art into sustenance.

Almudena Romero has spent three years growing a human eye into a French field using nothing but wheat and winter grasses. Now she's about to eat the evidence.
