In her recent series, ‘A Tribute to Budgie,’ she depicts [bird species](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bird-feeders) by using crumbs and slices of foods. Each dish features birds like flamingos, woodpeckers and owls. Some of the birds are even shown peaked on top of a branch or in their "natural" environments. She illustrated them and their surroundings with foods ranging from raisins to carrots. Each food was specifically picked or cut in a certain way to create realistic looking textures and colors. The foods used are also displayed around the dishes so that the viewers can see exactly how she created each bird. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 62% | 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) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Creative Food Styling:** Opportunity to explore innovative ways to style and present food for professional photo shoots. - **Illustrating with Food:** Opportunity to use different types of food to create artistic illustrations. - **Realistic Food Textures and Colors:** Opportunity to experiment with food to create visually appealing textures and colors that resemble natural elements. ### Where This Applies - **Food Styling:** Disruptive innovation can be achieved by incorporating unique and creative techniques to enhance food presentations for advertising and marketing purposes. - **Art and Design:** Innovative methods of using food as a medium for creative illustrations can be explored in various forms of art and design. - **Photography:** Exploring new food styling techniques and compositions can provide innovative opportunities for professional photographers in the field of food photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Targeted Bird Seed Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-birds.md) - [Sustainable Bird House Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-bird.md) - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [AI-Powered Smart Bird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-buddy.md) - [Bird-Inspired Earbud Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweettunes.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Food-Inspired Brand Imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-clases-barcelona-venue.md) - [Bird-Aiding Biodegradable Splints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdaid.md) - [Modernism Birdhouse Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project.md)
