Mari Lowery has created an eerie [series of photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) that succeeds in transforming the quotidian into the mysterious. Lowery's images convey a very subtle mood to the viewer where something feels lost or unattainable.

What I particularly like about these pieces by Mari Lowery is that I am left wondering many things and have lots of answered questions. The [human-sized rabbit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dearcloud-x-miffy) in these photos really point to something being out of place. I look forward to seeing more fantastic work by Mari Lowery.

**Implications** - Youth consumers are attracted to art works that are mysterious and do not completely reveal themselves upon first viewing. Mari Lowery has is attuned to this desire with her series. Companies should create campaigns that force the viewer to take a second look or leave the viewer with questions.
