Crafted by the ingenious Ziv Ayal, these [crazy sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) feature creatures with [mutant-like appendages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust) and recognizable human body parts, elevating the creepiness factor to new extremes. The most outlandish aspect of these Allochtoons is the [distinct human facial expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity) on these sculptures, which make it seem as though these things were once formerly people that have been grotesquely transformed into what you're looking at. I now have something new to fear at night. **Implications** - Artwork that contains human-like qualities often evokes visceral reactions from consumers as they are readily able to empathize with it due to its recognizable characteristics.
