Appropriately titled 'Concept / Image,' the quirky photography series was created and manipulated by New York artist Daniel Forero. The eccentric surrealist series features a diverse range of unexpected imagery with his artistic inclination often leaning towards [fusing daily objects with living creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1). This is clear in his images of goldfish in the gums of someone blowing bubbles, the light bulb featuring a tiny tight rope walker, the clown fish swimming in a bottle of [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-geometry-set) perfume and the turtle-bird hybrid creature. This creative photo series fascinates the viewer and is likely to appeal to people of all ages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eccentric Surrealist Art:** The trend of merging everyday objects with living creatures in art can be explored to create disruptive and thought-provoking art pieces. - **Conceptual Photography:** Incorporating surrealistic elements or fusing different objects to create unexpected imagery in photography can be a trend to explore in the art and advertising industries. - **Artistic Fusion:** Exploring the fusion of two seemingly contrasting objects can be an innovative approach to creating disruptive art, fashion and product designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** This trend offers a unique opportunity to create disruptive and thought-provoking art pieces. - **Advertising:** This trend can be used in advertising campaigns to showcase products in a unique and memorable way. - **Fashion:** Incorporating surrealistic elements or fusing two different objects can be used to create impactful and innovative fashion designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md)
