The Asian artist creates his own portraits and flashes of light through the stencil to produce these luminescent light stencils.

To the untrained eye, the projected images appear to be eerie holograms but upon closer look one can tell these [ghostly images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits) have nothing digital about them. The light stencils are a great piece of [street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) that could seemingly double as a Halloween display.The images appeared all across the city as onlookers enjoyed the majesty of these projections. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ghostly Light Stencils:** Opportunity for creating captivating and interactive art installations using light stencils to create ghostly and luminescent images. - **Street Art Photography:** Opportunity to capture unique and eye-catching street art photography by incorporating light stencils into compositions. - **Analog Digital Hybrids:** Opportunity to blend analog and digital elements in artistic expression by using light stencils to create surreal and ghostly images. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore new forms of expression and engage audiences through the use of light stencils and projection techniques. - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to experiment with light stencils to create unique and captivating images in various genres including street photography. - **Event Planning and Decor:** Opportunity for event planners and decorators to incorporate light stencils as a captivating and immersive element in themed events, exhibitions, and displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md) - [Festive Light Painting Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-painting-1.md) - [Vietnamese Culture-Honoring Balanced Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r-cy.md) - [Floating Illusion Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Life-Like 3D Canvases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumino.md) - [Pointy Paper Lantern Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-lantern-pavilion.md)
