Created by Laura Bowman, Jamie Breach, Ashley Maine, Elliott Mariess, and Lewis Woolner of Kingston, this corpse was a project that was made of [knives and forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins). The whole purpose of the work was to raise awareness to the unfair inequality of access to food and resources around the world. **Implications** - I think that art works that can challenge the way we live our day to day lives can have tremendous social value; they can cause society to reconsider how it conceives a particular issue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 65% | 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) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Awareness Art:** Using provocative art to raise awareness about important issues. - **Cutlery Creativity:** Using cutlery in creative and unexpected ways. - **Food Equality:** Highlighting the issue of unequal access to food and resources around the world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating art that raises awareness about important social issues. - **Food and Agriculture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Finding ways to increase access to food and resources in underprivileged areas. - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique dining experiences using cutlery in unexpected ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashionable Fusion Cutlery Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rething-cutlery.md) - [Speculative Cutlery Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon.md) - [Human Hand-Resembling Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-2.md) - [Sculptural Flatware Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrousel-flatware.md) - [Machine-Made Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gcode-flatware.md) - [Flatpack Metal Utensil Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uphold-cutlery.md) - [Card-Size Travel Cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-cutlery.md) - [Hand-Shaped Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-fork.md) - [Aesthetically Pleasing Cutlery Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-utensil-set.md)
