# Self-Suffocation Portraits The Julmard Vincente Plastic Wrapped Series is Breathtaking By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-01-21 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julmard-vincente-plastic-wrapped References: [sweet-station](http://sweet-station.com/blog/2013/01/julmard-vicente/) & [ju-vi.deviantart](http://ju-vi.deviantart.com/gallery/) Hard to look at for very long without losing your breath, the Julmard Vincente Plastic Wrapped series features examples of people who struggle against suffocation. Most of the subjects appear to be suffocating themselves, as a way to end their lives in one of the most traumatic ways possible. Even if you want to stop breathing, your natural instincts kick in and your body struggles for survival. These portraits capture the moment when the subject's are suffering the most, obviously in incredible pain both emotionally and physically. The Julmard Vincente Plastic Wrapped series demonstrates the artist's skill in painting the clear plastic wrap while still letting the subject and the extreme emotions they are going through be seen quite clearly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-suffocation Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of art to express and raise awareness about mental health struggles. - **Emotional Portraiture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques to capture intense emotions in portraiture, evoking powerful reactions from viewers. - **Artistic Empathy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize art as a medium to foster empathy and understanding towards individuals facing emotional and physical pain. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Therapy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate self-suffocation art in therapeutic practices to help individuals explore and express their personal struggles. - **Mental Health Awareness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use self-suffocation art as a vehicle to initiate conversations and combat the stigma surrounding mental health. - **Contemporary Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Challenge traditional artistic conventions by pushing boundaries and addressing difficult topics through self-suffocation art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Medicine-Inspired Artful Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-the-pain.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Striking Glass Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits.md)
