ART project idea help

Hi guys! I need your help for ideas on an art project. Here is the assignment: "The student will use observation to create an orthographic section (so I assume that's like half of something from different angles and stuff) of a still-life object or an animal revealing a surprising or disturbing interior (e.g., a
steam-powered mechanism inside a turtle). "

Here are a few that I was thinking about, but am not too into it.
-Half of a pomegranate with the seeds replaced with fish eggs lol.
-Some weird stuff dealing with a seashell
-Top of the human head cut open, showing space/ galaxy stuff... some cliche "imagination is limitless".

Anyways, my prof also showed a bunch of mechanical animals, but I'm not really into that stuff.

Thanks in advance

A clock would be cool, though I would think it's been done a lot. As for disturbing, it could be like a broken clock, and you could draw out the gruesome reality of why it's broken (it's 2AM and I'm bad with horror so I don't want to think of any scary ideas right now).

Maybe a trash can? I think that would be really interesting to work with, 'cause you could have some really strange junk in there.

Um. I just finished an essay (draft) so I'm a little drained but if I have any other ideas I'll just comment again. ^^

Edit:
The ocean is also a really common one.

You could try something that has basically nothing very notable in it, like a cloud, and make up some fantasy world/logic.
