From the creative mind of Julia Chiang comes this charming artwork that you can literally lick off of the wall. She combined ring pop candies to make words and messages. The messages include "Hugs and Kisses" and "Love Always." On the bottom of each letter are drippings of [melted candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-push-up), due to the studio's hot lighting. Julia Chiang's candy wall was featured at the ‘it ain’t fair’ show at ohwow gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edible Art:** Opportunity to create new forms of art using edible materials as a medium. - **Interactive Installations:** Opportunity to engage audiences in immersive and interactive experiences through art installations. - **Sensory Marketing:** Opportunity to utilize sensory experiences, such as taste, to create brand associations and enhance marketing campaigns. ### Where This Applies - **Art Galleries:** Opportunity for art galleries to showcase unique and interactive pieces to attract customers. - **Confectionery:** Opportunity for candy companies to explore new and innovative ways to present their products in the market. - **Advertising:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate sensory marketing in their advertising campaigns to create memorable experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Confectionary Graffiti Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummie.md) - [Jewelry-Revealing Rock Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-4.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Ice Pop Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoku-ring-pop-mold.md) - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [Street Art-Style Gummy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummies.md) - [Wearable Springtime Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-chocolate-ring-pop.md) - [Screen-Printed Chocolate Tiled Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-room-1.md) - [Conversation Candy Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zales-x-sweethearts.md) - [Collaboration Festive Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-pop-and-serendipity-3.md)
