# Freaky Faceless Figures Me & Edward Features Eery Images By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-01-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/me-and-edward References: [zeutch](http://www.zeutch.com/graphik/meedward-31713) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/3dward) Me & Edward is an [art exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko) that will make you shudder and cringe, but be unable to tear your eyes away. These disfigured creatures look like they belong in an editorial titled [Pan's Labyrinth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-tim-burton) Magazine. It's hard to tell who is more in shock, the man with nothing on his face and his hand on his cheeks or the person looking at the picture. Another figure has had his head explode into a [cloud of human-colored smoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). Perhaps the most shocking to look at in the Me & Edward exhibit is the creature with an extremely dysfunctional body. His head is missing, his waist is the size of a peanut, and finally his body is twisted around so his behind is in front. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Freaky Faceless Figures:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore unconventional and unsettling aesthetics in their work. - **Eery Images:** Potential for photographers and filmmakers to create haunting and captivating visuals that elicit strong emotional responses. - **Disfigured Creatures:** Opportunity for special effects artists and costume designers to push the boundaries of realistic and disturbing character designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Artists and galleries can capitalize on the demand for unsettling and thought-provoking artworks. - **Photography:** Photographers can create unique and visually striking images that stand out from traditional photography. - **Film:** Film production companies can create horror and thriller movies with visually stunning and unsettling creature designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Boundless Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frameless-experience.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Three-Dimensional Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-doubt-your-eyes.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Perception-Challenging Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becoming-familiar.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md)
