She creates a [surreal 3D effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp) with [multiple layers of glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panorama) depicting various images of trees to create a multi-effect floating image of trees. They look mystical and dreamy as if they were found floating in the forest, and have a green, serpentine effect. The images resemble a hologram because of the various layers incorporated within it. The glass screens sit amongst concrete slabs and the frontal view makes the image appear to be never-ending. At the distance, the sculpture looks enchanting and gripping as if it will pull you into a transcendental vortex. This art is surreal and creates fascination and mysticism amongst its viewers, while invoking conversation on perception and reality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multi-layered Glass Sculptures:** The trend of using multiple layers of glass in sculptures creates a surreal and immersive experience for viewers. - **Surreal 3D Effects:** The trend of incorporating multiple layers of glass to achieve 3D effects in sculptures offers opportunities for creating mesmerizing and visually captivating artworks. - **Hologram-like Art:** The trend of utilizing multiple layers of glass to create hologram-like images in sculptures opens up possibilities for creating immersive and interactive art experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Sculpture:** The art and sculpture industry can explore innovative approaches using multi-layered glass techniques to create captivating and thought-provoking artworks. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage multi-layered glass sculptures to add a surreal and visually captivating element to spaces, creating unique and immersive environments. - **Digital Media and Virtual Reality:** The digital media and virtual reality industry can integrate multi-layered glass sculptures with cutting-edge technologies to create new forms of interactive and immersive virtual art experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Optical-Illusion Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sevval-kalaycikli.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md)
