The inspiration for the photo series was sparked by McClure's fascination of how objects and color interplay. Joanna McClure notes, "This led to [my] fascination with the [translucent, inherently mutable nature of glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clearcam); when it serves as a lens to look at other objects, the material inherently changes what the viewer sees." The photographer is known for mixing femininity throughout her material, in this case, using soft while silk sheets to absorb light. Joanna McClure's 'Through the Looking Glass' is a stimulating photo series that captures emotions in a [kaleidoscopic way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalegoidoscope). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Translucent Materials:** Exploring the use of translucent materials such as glass in photography to create unique visual effects. - **Color Interplay:** Examining the interaction between objects and color in photography to capture dynamic and captivating images. - **Feminine Aesthetics:** Incorporating elements of femininity, such as soft silk sheets, into photography to evoke emotions and add depth to the visuals. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Utilizing translucent materials and experimenting with color interplay to create innovative and captivating photographs. - **Art:** Exploring the use of translucent materials and color interplay in art to create visually engaging and thought-provoking pieces. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating feminine aesthetics, such as translucent materials and color interplay, in interior design to create unique and immersive spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Shadow-Inspired Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series.md) - [Light-Refracting Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Plexiglass Vibrant Wall Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibeke-fonnesberg-schmidt.md) - [Artful Ethereal Iridescent Resin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest.md) - [Optical-Illusion Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sevval-kalaycikli.md)
