The collage includes organ meat, fat and muscle; underneath the image of the pig and the word "Lovely," the caption reads, "One pig was hurt while making this lovely image of a pig." **Implications** - While looking through the images it is important to account for the [careless killings of innocent animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-lion1) that 'Lovely' by Catherine Konopleva is capturing. Many may find these graphic images horrific, but this [meaty artivism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-free-made-easy-campaign) is attempting to draw attention towards the senseless killing of young piglets that have barely had a chance to live. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 36% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Meat Artivism:** Art with meat products to raise awareness about animal cruelty and environmental impact of the meat industry. - **Food Art:** Using food in art installations that challenge societal norms and prompt conversations. - **Environmental Artivism:** Art as a medium for drawing attention to environmental issues and inspiring action. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Opportunities for artists to create thought-provoking pieces that raise awareness on social and environmental issues. - **Food:** Innovative chefs and food companies can use food products as a medium to raise awareness about societal norms and environmental issues. - **Environmental Activism:** Opportunities for environmental activists to use creative forms of art to draw attention to pressing environmental issues and inspire change. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Provocative AR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-so-happy-animals.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Meat-Free Deli Product Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatfree-campaign.md) - [Anti-Meat Hypnosis Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-raging-pig-company.md) - [Cultivated Pork Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-pork.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Plant-Based Whole-Cut Porks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meaty-meat-pork-ish.md) - [Animal Welfare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-lion1.md) - [Pork Protein Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-age-eats.md)
