Michel Blazy's 2005 sculpture, *L’homme aux oreilles de porc*, is a humorous and unsettling depiction of a human skeleton constructed entirely from dog biscuits. The work, made in the artist’s signature style of using readily available materials, plays on the inherent absurdity of its subject matter. The contrasting imagery of a human skeleton and dog biscuits challenges viewers to consider the relationship between humans and animals, as well as the often arbitrary boundaries between art and everyday objects. Blazy's work is often categorized as conceptual art, a genre focused on the conceptual ideas behind the work rather than traditional aesthetic beauty.
