This monumental artistic piece measures 100 x 5 meters tall with [distinctive urinals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-urinal-design) and sinks at the Shiwan Park, Foshan city in China. This unusual installation took about two whole months to build with the idea of using [discarded toilet bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wu-series). The artist connected them to a water main that enables the water to cascade down at periodic intervals like a waterfall. Its incredible water works make heads turn as people pass by to view this extraordinary artwork. This fountain installation captures a new way to depict toilet bowls in a creative and bizarre artistic setting for the public to admire. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Toilet Bowl Art:** The use of discarded toilet bowls in artistic installations presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art world. - **Monumental Water Fountains:** The creation of large-scale water fountains using unconventional materials like toilet bowls opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in architectural design. - **Creative Recycled Installations:** The trend of creating art installations from recycled materials, such as toilet bowls, offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in sustainable design and recycling practices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Sculpture:** Artists and sculptors can explore the use of unconventional materials like toilet bowls to create disruptive and thought-provoking pieces. - **Architecture and Landscape Design:** Architects and landscape designers can incorporate unconventional materials, like toilet bowls, to create unique and visually striking water fountains. - **Sustainable Design and Recycling:** Companies in the sustainable design and recycling industry can explore new ways to repurpose discarded toilet bowls and other materials for creative installations and products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Public Artful Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroo-east-park.md) - [Stone-Stacked Dynamic Fountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vondel-fountain.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Brutalist Smart Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-02.md) - [Modern Civic-Inspired Fountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-fountain.md) - [Vibrant Public London Fountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-1.md) - [Powerful Vortex Toilet Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twistflush-toilet.md) - [Enclosed Japanese Park Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletowa.md) - [Modern Interior Water Fountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bower-studios-pivot-fountain-limited-edition.md)
