Recently, Sosa has been chosen as the subject for a [solo exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fangirl) at DOMICILE TOKYO in Japan dubbed ‘Moratorium.’ The display includes a fascinating [3D-printed sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko) of a female subject hanging from the ceiling and looking into a mirror framed by natural materials. The anime-inspired figure has phrases etched onto her back and is dressed in a lace bra and underwear in true Soto style. A collection of drawings that appear to study the artist's three-dimensional works also feature raunchy female figures and appear next to the sculpture. DOMICILE commented on the exhibition, explaining: “Through [installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-exhibition), Soto reclaims her works existence as her own the same way she helped her audience to reclaim their bodies and heal. Here, she has the courage to realize her own self-portrait through a new medium, it is Soto that hangs for us all to witness. Only she can find serenity as gravity pulls her under from the top down.” Image Credit: Manuela Soto Sosa, DOMICILE TOKYO ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Anime Art Exhibitions:** Art exhibitions inspired by anime that feature raunchy female figures offer a new medium for artists to explore and showcase their talents. - **3D Printing Sculptures:** The use of 3D printing technology in art creates new opportunities for sculptors to produce unique and captivating pieces. - **Lace Fashion Trends:** The use of lace in fashion has come a long way, attracting more designers with new inspirations to the material. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fine Arts:** The fine arts industry sees disruption as artists explore different mediums and subject matters to engage with their audience. - **3D Printing:** The 3D printing industry now caters not only to manufacturing and engineering but to artists who want to add another layer of creativity to their art forms. - **Fashion Design:** The fashion industry continues to evolve, and designers find inspiration in anime and unconventional materials like lace to keep up with emerging fashion trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [CG Technology Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cg-technology-art-exhbition.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Manga-Style Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hisashi-eguchi.md) - [Neo-Mexican Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/para-morelio.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Bi-Culture-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicultureinspired-art-exhibition.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Destructive Nature Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keita-miyazaki.md) - [Human Connection-Themed Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-exhibition.md)
