# Human Plant Hybrids Lorenzo Nanni Creates Creepy Eco-Encroaching Art By Rachel | Published 2009-06-05 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-plant-hybrids-lorenzo-nanni-creates-creepy-eco-encroaching-art References: [dazeddigital](http://www.dazeddigital.com/view/default.aspx?Category=19&ArticleID=3433&PageNum=1) & [lorenzonanni](http://www.lorenzonanni.com/) Lorenzo Nanni has made plant life creepy, which is generally difficult. The artist uses silk and embroidery to create his plant life, and then photographs the works surrounding his human models. There are images of plants growing from a neck, a vine surrounding a man and [fungus growing in a woman's hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-void). The images are dark and entirely creative. Check out Lorenzo Nanni's work above. **Implications** - Eco-conscious consumers have begun to consider the relationship between their bodies and the natural. These consumers feel a deep affinity for nature. Companies should consider how their brand feeds into this idea of a [deep connection to the surrounding environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highwood-installation). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-conscious Consumerism:** Opportunity for companies to align their brand with the deep connection to nature and the environment. - **Nature-inspired Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore the relationship between humans and plants through creative and dark imagery. - **Plant-based Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate plant elements into their designs, catering to the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable clothing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to curate and showcase eco-conscious products that resonate with consumers seeking a deeper connection to nature. - **Art:** Opportunity for artists to create innovative and thought-provoking works that challenge traditional concepts of the human-plant relationship. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to explore plant-inspired designs and materials, offering consumers eco-friendly fashion choices that align with their environmental values. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Nature-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-2.md) - [Sculptural Biomaterial Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wevolve-labs.md) - [Biomimetic Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life.md) - [Living Plant DIY Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-hideaway.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md)
