The creations of Terry Border, a photographer from Indianapolis, are called sculptures, while the author himself uses a different term for them - Bent objects. Under this name, "revived" objects, which food products often become, end up in photographs and disperse all over the world, getting into collections, exhibitions, or simply on walls as interior decoration.

Terry Border's objects come to life in his photographs, which can be viewed on the Bent Objects website.
