# Electric Lonely Hearts Kristen Bukowski Creates Glowing Wallflower By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-09-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kristen-bukowski References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Matilda/314637) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/wesome) I can’t help but feel bad for the [glow-in-the-dark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) person Kristen Bukowski has created. Her head is lowered, she seems downtrodden and is the epitome of a [wallflower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) (all she does is sit by the wall, yet she can’t help but stand out like sore thumb). By the way, her name is Matilda. Okay, pull yourself together--this is not a real person. Anyway, Matilda is one of many creations from Kristen Bukowski, which can be found at the link below. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Glow-in-the-dark Art:** Opportunity to create innovative glow-in-the-dark artwork and installations. - **Interactive Sculptures:** Potential for interactive sculptures that elicit emotional responses from viewers. - **Personalized Artistic Creations:** Trend of creating unique and customized art pieces that reflect individual preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Innovation opportunities to incorporate new materials and techniques in art and design. - **Home Decor:** Potential for glow-in-the-dark sculptures and installations to be used as unique home decor items. - **Technology and Entertainment:** Opportunity to use interactive sculptures in immersive experiences and entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Neon Illuminated Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity.md) - [Playful Sculptural Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1.md) - [Ethereal Oil Lamp Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-realm-of-light.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Upcycled Sculptural Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eps-expanded-polystyrene-serie.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Organic Illuminated Artful Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cages-mobiles-and-rock.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md)
