The rainbow was made on a window and mimics a [stained glass windowpane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition). Other works by Jessica Eaton include the idea of experimentation and a focus on the [perception of light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light). Her work really shines (sorry, I had to). **Implications** - The global recession cast a wave of anxiety over consumers and businesses alike. To combat those feelings of depression, product designers released aesthetic objects meant to boost moods, encourage relaxation and stimulate a sense of nostalgia for happier times. The rainbow, a cheery phenomenon typically only seen after a storm, became the perfect allegory for a promising future after the end of the recession. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Filter Sample Photography:** The use of filter sample photography allows for the creation of fictional rainbows and other imaginative visuals. - **Experimental Art:** Artists like Jessica Eaton are pushing boundaries through experimentation with perception and light. - **Mood-boosting Aesthetics:** Product designers are creating aesthetic objects that aim to improve moods, induce relaxation, and evoke nostalgic feelings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Filter sample photography presents an opportunity for photographers to explore new artistic techniques and create captivating visuals. - **Art:** Experimental art opens up avenues for artists to challenge traditional norms and invent unique approaches to creating art. - **Product Design:** The demand for mood-boosting aesthetics creates opportunities for product designers to develop innovative and visually appealing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Office Building Rainbow Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-rainbow-office.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Illusion-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Artful Ethereal Iridescent Resin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest.md)
