Squish Still Life

No finished piece in this style yet.

In plain words

An everyday object, like a stapler or a key, looks as if it is made of soft inflated silicone, with seams and pinches, sitting on a pastel stand under soft studio light. It feels cute, absurd and very touchable. What makes it this style is turning hard, familiar things soft and squishy.
