Theses sculptures are made up of thousands of tiny colored matches. The artist, David Mach, creates the sculptures to resemble famous faces and legendary artworks. When he opens up his exhibition he lights the work on fire. Talk about an attention getter!

Reblogged this on The N3RD W3RD and commented:
Woah! I love this.
WOW!!!!
This is quite spectacular and totally unique! It is a shame, however, to light the matches for then the art is destroyed (unless I missed something).
No, you didn’t miss anything. But the fire is part of the art. It’s lovely!
