Encapsulated Banana (12 years old)
This photo is from Spencer, one of my colleagues. When the company got a new encapsulation machine (it coats objects in plastic and seals them - like heavy-duty 3D lamination) he encapsulated a fresh banana. The fruit was completely sealed off from air and over the years it has undergone anaerobic decomposition. This photo was taken in 2007 and the banana is now a reddish-brown liquid with lots of black shreds floating in it. The encapsulation remains banana-shaped. Having reached this state, it hasn't visibly changed since.
