# Womanly Pencil Sculptures Female Torsos by Federico Uribe are Made of Unusual Materials By Annie Ho | Published 2010-05-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/female-torsos-by-federico-uribe References: [thisblogrules](http://www.thisblogrules.com/2010/05/female-torsos-made-out-of-unusual-materials.html) & [federicouribe](http://www.federicouribe.com/) These female torsos by Federico Uribe are made using [random materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hardware) such as keyboards and coins, that are put together into a shape that resembles a woman's torso and face. This is a neat way to save the environment, taking something that no one wants and turning it into a magical piece of art. I personally like the one that is made out of keyboards--who knew that something square could be turned into a curvy human shape? Other interesting materials used in these female torsos by Federico Uribe are [pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-pencils), safety pins and plastic fruits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycling Art:** Artists using random materials to create unique sculptures, turning trash into treasure. - **Unconventional Materials:** Innovative artists incorporating keyboards, pencils, and safety pins into their artwork. - **Environmental Consciousness:** Using repurposed materials to create art that highlights sustainability and raises awareness. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Sculpture:** Artists exploring new mediums and techniques to create visually striking sculptures. - **Environmental Conservation:** Opportunities for organizations to promote sustainability and encourage creative recycling. - **Waste Management and Recycling:** Potential for innovative waste management solutions that transform discarded materials into valuable resources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md)
