He creates mammoth masterpieces that turn the typical party trick into something a lot more magical. Yet Jason Hackenwerth doesn't use magic to make his works of art. Instead, each one takes a lot of skill, patience and imagination to create. What makes Jason Hackenwerth's art even more interesting is what they are modeled after: [scientific organisms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu). He talks about one of his more elaborate creations to date, "I see this as a metaphor for the evolution for life and the unexpected ways we can transcend our greatest threats. My plan for Pisces is to create a complex spiral that will open into a [huge seashell like form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures). This spiral will correspond with the dynamic with the motion of the universe – the double helix. It is the spiral from which all life is derived." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 13% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gigantic Balloon Sculptures:** Developing new techniques and materials for creating large-scale balloon sculptures can revolutionize the art industry. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Exploring the use of balloons as a medium for creating sculptures can open up new possibilities for artists and designers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Immersive Balloon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-story-popup.md) - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Giant Custom Inflatables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-inflatables.md) - [Interactive Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helix.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md)
