# Fruit Battery Photography (UPDATE) Back to Light by Caleb Charland Harnesses Natural Power By Meghan Young | Published 2014-01-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-light References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/01/caleb-charland-back-to-light/) & [calebcharland](http://calebcharland.com/) The Back to Light photo series might ring a bell for some people. It was originally launched in [2012](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleb-charland-science-photos21) and has since gone on to include even more baffling images that hammer home the idea of alternate natural sources for power. In this case, the Back to Light photo series revolves around the energy of fruits, artistically showing how they are capable of powering light fixtures. Shot by artist Caleb Charland, the Back to Light photo series takes on either abstract forms or existing ones such as lamps and solar systems. According to the mastermind behind it, "Many people have had the experience of drawing power from fruit in the classroom, and it never ceases to bring a smile to the face or a thought to the mind. This work speaks to a common curiosity we all have for how the world works as well as a global concern for the future of earth’s energy sources." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternate Energy Sources:** Opportunity to explore and develop innovative ways to harness natural energy from unconventional sources like fruits. - **Sustainable Art:** Opportunity to create artistic installations and projects that promote sustainability and alternative energy. - **Science in Art:** Opportunity to merge science and art to create thought-provoking pieces that ignite curiosity about the world. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the renewable energy industry to explore and develop new methods of generating power from unconventional sources. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the art and design industry to incorporate sustainability and alternative energy into their creations. - **Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the education industry to integrate scientific experiments and artistic expressions to spark curiosity and understanding among students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Fruit-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds.md) - [Illuminating Functional Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonside.md) - [Glowing Power-Free Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nisshoku.md) - [Soil-Powered Light Sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soli.md) - [Wireless Solar-Powered Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-lights.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Photosensitive Book Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outside-book.md) - [Illuminating Magnetic Smartphone Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonside-maglight.md)
