The Four Bagels of the Apocalypse

Not for the Faint of Heart

1998

Death

This project started innocently enough, with a single uneaten bagel left in the fridge until it was hard and stale. On a whim, I decided to take it down into the basement and spray-paint it black (no, I am not a Rolling Stones fan). After the paint was dry, I realized that what I had was the bagel of Death. This inspired me to wait for three more bagels and complete the collection.

War

The bagel of War is painted bright, glossy red, and has a small "nuclear" symbol and fuse. It bulges agressively.

Pestilence

The bagel of Pestilence is a cinnamon rasin bagel. It has been coated in matte clear lacquer to protect the viewer from it's pestilential cinamonness and raisinity. *shudder*

Famine

The bagel of Famine looks like a yummy, glossy, poppy-seed bagel, full of wholesome goodness. A closer look reveals that it is hollow, devoid of any nutritional content! Hollowing it out with a Dremel tool was an awful lot of fun.
