# Flower-Exploding Sculptures Interface by Bradley Sabin Signifies Merging of Human and Plant Worlds By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interface-by-bradley-sabin References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/bradley-sabin-ceramic-flowers-interface) & [sorengallery](http://www.sorengallery.com/artists_sabin_recent.html) Interface by Bradley Sabin, an American artist, is an [art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meadow-exhibition) that revolves around the shell of a man exploding into what appears to be a million flower fragments. Of course, a million is quite the exaggeration. In reality, the installation is made up of 1500 [ceramic pink magnolias](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom), which is still a very impressive number. Created for LSU Musuem of Art's exhibit titled Uniquely Louisiana, Interface by Bradley Sabin will be on display until November 11, 2012. One of 50 pieces representing the Louisiana environment, Sabin reveals that the installation "reflects a dream-state where the plant world and the human world merge." Each petal was made separately and then pressed together to form a flower. The flowers were then screwed to the wall for a [floating effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloome). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 87% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Floral Art Installations:** Exploring the merging of human and plant worlds through large-scale flower sculptures presents new opportunities in the realm of immersive and experiential art installations. - **Ceramic Craftsmanship:** The use of ceramic materials to create intricate and lifelike flower sculptures opens up possibilities for innovation in the field of ceramic art and craftsmanship. - **Dreamlike Environments:** Creating dream-state environments that blur the boundaries between different aspects of nature, such as plants and humans, offers disruptive innovation opportunities for architects and interior designers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Exhibitions:** Bringing large-scale flower art installations to art exhibitions and museums can enhance visitor experiences and generate interest in the art world. - **Craft and Design:** Exploring the use of ceramics in creating lifelike flower sculptures can lead to new product designs and innovations in the craft industry. - **Architectural Design:** Incorporating dreamlike elements inspired by the merging of human and plant worlds into architectural designs can revolutionize the way buildings and spaces are experienced. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Large-Scale Pink-Fabric Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-hibiscus.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Botanical Signal Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pulses.md) - [Mirrored Flower Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness.md) - [Poignant Multimedia Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation.md) - [Temporary Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-market-20.md) - [Plush Flower Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cj-hendrys-flower-market.md) - [Basketball-Themed Floral Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunflower-vessel.md)
