Yes please. At least that's what it appears David Brodeur was going for with his latest photo project dubbed [Celestial Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-our-world). A digital artist based in Chicago, Illinois, David Brodeur might create imagined foliage and finds, yet the coloring is inspired by [familiar fruits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds), thus giving people mouth-watering impressions of such treats. Part of an ongoing series, David Brodeur's celestial renderings pop up daily in his [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world) account as well. It's interesting to see how fantasy and reality collide into a single series of images. Perhaps his renderings will inspire people to explore with food as well. But if it encourages them to explore in general, that would be a great result of such artistic works. Keep up with his Instagram to be inspired everyday. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 88% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fantasy Art:** Artists can disrupt the market by creating photorealistic images of fantasy worlds that incorporate real-life elements. - **Edible Aesthetics:** Companies can capitalize on the visual appeal of food by incorporating it into branding, packaging, and advertising. - **Augmented Realities:** Marketers can create immersive and interactive experiences by layering digital elements onto real-world objects. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can leverage new technologies to create immersive visual experiences. - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies can incorporate visually appealing design elements inspired by food into their products and branding. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketers and advertisers can use augmented reality technology to create interactive campaigns that engage customers in unique and memorable ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Creative Imaging Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pic-2-planet.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Fungi-Inspired Multidisciplinary Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-void.md) - [Playful Space-Themed Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacethemed-dessert.md) - [Nostalgia-Inspired Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-planet.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md)
