This is exactly what she does her recent series, 'The American Landscape: Abstracted,' which features different scenes of nature captured from sprawling landscapes in various locations. For each of the images, she muddles the colors together to create a meaning that's more metaphorical, with the scenes shown in a [surreal way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) that's both distant and familiar to her viewers. As Fubiz speculates, the resulting images are similar what's seen out the window of quickly [moving train](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour), with landscapes whipping by before one can really get an understanding of what's truly in front of their eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Abstract Landscape Photography:** Artists are exploring new ways to capture the essence of nature through abstraction, leading to innovative art forms. - **Surreal Photography:** Creating imagery that is both distant and familiar to viewers is a growing trend in photography as artists attempt to blur the lines between reality and the imaginary. - **Metaphorical Imagery:** Artists are purposely creating images with deeper meanings to invite viewers to think about the context and broader narrative behind the art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artificial Intelligence:** Advanced AI image recognition systems have the potential to generate new forms of abstract landscapes by identifying patterns and colors that humans may not readily point out. - **Interior Design:** Surreal photography and abstract landscapes can be used creatively to design spaces that are visually stunning and thought-provoking. - **Fashion:** The use of abstract and surreal imagery in fashion is on the rise as designers explore new mediums to express themselves and push the boundaries of traditional fashion photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Hand-Painted Watercolor Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emma-webster.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md)
