Artist and photographer Navid Baraty is creating fictional space scenes by placing household food items on an Epson photo scanner and making a scan with the lid open.

Natahn says the Cosmic images are taken by the imaginary WANDER Space Probe, which is also the title of the ongoing project and photo series.

Below you will find some images from the series along with a list of the ingredients used to create each photo. Follow along with WANDER’s future explorations on Facebook and Instagram
