Mode 2 has captured the [physical intimacy found in human sexuality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-sex-1) and artfully reproduced it in a way that is simultaneously naughty and sensual.

Perhaps to articulate the basic and primal aspect of all human sexual interaction, Mode 2 has chosen to place his [artistic creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) on the most simple of surfaces—cardboard. It seems Mode 2 was inspired by the callous surroundings provided by the [urban jungle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) in which he was placed.
