For 'Lines,' Emilie Möri lenses images of her subjects in a [nightmarish manner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam) by placing them behind a web of yarn -- which makes it look as though they're caged within its confines. Each is shown to be out of focus as well, putting the lines of string at the forefront -- further adding to the nightmarish effect by generating a surreal look that dehumanizes the subjects. All of the portraits by Emilie Möri in Lines utilize a black and white filter as well, helping to accent the web of yarn and give it a bit of a gothic look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Web-inspired Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to experiment with new forms and styles of photography using unconventional subjects like web lines. - **Embellished Graphics:** Graphic designers could innovate by incorporating yarn or other textures into graphic design pieces for a unique twist. - **Surreal Human Portraits:** There is potential for photographers to create visually striking portraits by dehumanizing their subjects through surreal and unconventional means such as yarn-caged portraits. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Photographers can employ unusual techniques such as yarn-coverage to create new artistic styles and differentiate themselves. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic design could incorporate yarn or other textures to create eye-catching designs and stand out in the industry. - **Fine Art:** As the boundaries between photography, design, and art blur, there is an opportunity for artists to innovate and push the boundaries of traditional portraiture with unconventional techniques like yarn. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Knitted Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-series.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Sensorial Textile Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvie-johnson.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md)
