FAKE! Bosom-shaped luffas found in Hanoi’s Goethe café Luffas formed into the shapes of women’s breasts displayed in the Goethe Café, a part of the German Goethe Institute, located onHanoi’sNguyen Thai Hoc Street, have amazed many people over the past few days. All of the luffas there have a long shape and a pinkish color resembling that of human skin, rather than the usual green of the species. The fruits and vines “grow” upon on a bamboo frame set against a wall, creating a fresh-looking and close-to-nature feeling inside the café. In fact, these breast-shaped luffas are man-made products created by Nguyen Thi Hoai Mo, a 28-year old artist hailing from Ha Tinh. She used silicon and composites to make them, and crafted the shape of each “fruit” by hand. By adding art to the fruits, which are integral to Vietnamese rural life, Mo aimed to convey a message of femininity and women power from a more open perspective in the modern world.
