Yamamoto often fuses [surreal work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) with both traditional Japanese components and well-known pop characters. This time, the artist works in conjunction with APPortfolio on his inaugural '[sofubi' sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakajimaya-crossing) -- a sofubi art piece is a Japanese soft vinyl material. The collaborative structure is limited edition and coined to be a "healing art piece." It features a [sleeping moon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lamp-concept) placed on top of a foundation of clouds -- it sits at a length of 28 centimeters. The Bouyant Moon is now available for purchase online at APPortfolio for the price of $122 USD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surreal Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists to fuse traditional and pop elements into surreal sculptures. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Potential for limited edition collaborations between artists and companies to create unique art pieces. - **Healing Art:** Growing trend of creating and marketing art with a focus on promoting wellness and healing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Opportunity for the art industry to collaborate with companies and create highly sought-after sculptures. - **Design:** Opportunity for designers to create unique and innovative sculptures using soft vinyl materials. - **Wellness:** Opportunity for the wellness industry to incorporate healing art pieces into their practices and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Light-Hearted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-sculpture.md) - [Monochromatic Ghost Character Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monochromatic-ghost-character-sculptures.md) - [Starry-Eyed Dichroic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starryeyed-dichroic-sculpture.md) - [Peace-Centric Oversized Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-head.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Community-Centric Sculptural Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-sculptures.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Sculptureal Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-things.md) - [Artful Anime-Blending Split Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust.md) - [Afro-Futuristic Marble Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaia.md)
