# Whimsical Cardboard Sculptures Artist Eva Jospin Creates Dense Forests Out of an Unlikely Material By Meghan Young | Published 2015-02-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-sculpture References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2015/02/06/layer-upon-layer-eva-jospin-sculpts-cardboard-dense-mysterious-forests/) & [galeriepieceunique](http://www.galeriepieceunique.com/infoframes/jospin.htm) There have been some impressive cardboard sculptures to hit the Internet in the past, but this series of [dense forests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-for-the-trees) is something else entirely. Cut, layered and glued together in as intricate and detailed a way as possible, they are all different interpretations of The Woods. Each cardboard sculpture is different from the next, some are even [three dimensional](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series) in an effort to make them even more immersive. Created by Eva Jospin, the cardboard sculptures all embrace a larger message. She shares, "To look at a forest is an optical experience that challenges the typical laws of perspective in western representation. Facing visually the depth of a forest means to forget the horizon, it means to get lost. And is not the danger of getting lost the only risk tied up to that natural labyrinth that is a forest?" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cardboard Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore unconventional materials and create unique, immersive experiences. - **Dense Forests:** Potential for architects and landscapers to incorporate dense forest themes into their designs for a visually stunning and immersive experience. - **Intricate Interpretations:** Growth in demand for intricate and detailed artwork, providing opportunities for artisans and craftsmen to showcase their skills and creativity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore the use of unconventional materials like cardboard to create unique and visually striking sculptures. - **Architecture and Landscaping:** Architects and landscapers can incorporate dense forest themes into their designs to create immersive and nature-inspired spaces. - **Artisan Crafts:** Artisans and craftsmen can capitalize on the growing demand for intricate and detailed artwork, offering unique and personalized creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Cardboard-Inspired Ceramic Household Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-collection.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Upcycled Waste Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-furniture-design.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md)
