# Pink Phalange Installations 'I Am My Lost Diamond' is Comprised of Countless Fingers and Toes By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-am-my-lost-diamond References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/11/hundreds-of-pink-fingers-explode-on-gallery-walls/) & [ambreenbutt](http://www.ambreenbutt.com/) At first, the 'I Am My Lost Diamond' art installation may seem like a lab test involving a petri dish and some very unsavory pink bacteria. Of course, that would have to be one very big petri dish to involve an entire room. As such, it does not involve clusters of bacteria but instead clusters of fingers and toes. Thankfully, those fingers and toes are no more real than the bacteria they appear to be. Put together by Ambreen Butt, an artist born in Lahore, Pakistan, and based in Boston, Massachusetts, the I Am My Lost Diamond art installation is comprised of hundreds of [pink phalanges made out of resin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu), not flesh and bone. They are currently exploding on the walls of Carroll and Sons in Boston. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Finger and Toe Installations:** Artists can create unique displays by using unconventional materials, such as resin, to make sculptures of body parts. - **Hyper-realistic Art Installations:** Artists can create visually stunning displays that challenge our understanding of reality through the use of 3D printing and other technology. - **Surreal Art Installations:** Artists can push the boundaries of what we expect to see in art by creating installations that challenge our perceptions of reality and the human body. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Artists and galleries can use innovative techniques and materials to create exhibitions that capture people's imaginations and engage with contemporary issues. - **Entertainment:** The use of hyper-realistic installations and advanced technology such as VR, AR, and AI can create immersive experiences that transport people to other worlds and challenge their perceptions. - **Advertising:** Innovative advertising campaigns can use surreal and unconventional art installations to grab people's attention and make a lasting impression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Monumental Cultural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearl-jam.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Textured Cast Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad.md) - [Large-Scale Pink-Fabric Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-hibiscus.md) - [Tubed Immersive Organ-Like Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organlike-installation.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Health Object Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice.md)
