Brazilian artist Nelson Leiner loves to work with his hands, dabbling in various forms of artwork including massive installations. This project shows extreme dedication and features trucks holding blueberries and soldiers holding aluminum guns all facing a very long train in the center with airplanes hovering up above. He didn't just stop at one model, the artist created a whole army of vehicles and people to fight the good fight, perhaps against [Pepsi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-smart-can) products. The Nelson Leiner Coke Can Installation is immediately impressive and you can sport pop tabs and bottle caps among the aluminum-siding pieces as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Recycled Material Creations:** Using recycled materials to create art installations and sculptures presents an opportunity for innovative and sustainable design solutions. - **Large-scale Installations:** The creation of massive installations with intricate details using recycled materials could offer unique and creative marketing opportunities for brands and businesses. - **Pop Culture Artwork:** The use of everyday objects, like soda cans, to create impressive artwork and sculptures adds a playful and unique element to pop culture art trends. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can use recycled materials and innovative designs to create unique installations and sculptures. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Brands and businesses can commission large-scale installations and sculptures made from recycled materials to showcase their commitment to sustainability and creative design. - **Consumer Goods:** Companies can incorporate recycled materials into their packaging, products, and marketing designs to appeal to consumers who value sustainability and creativity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Bar Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-installation.md) - [Pop Art Factory Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-campbells-soup.md) - [Mixed-Reality Cola Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-coca-cola-billboard.md) - [Tiny Washing Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-washing-machine.md) - [Comic-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-heroes.md) - [Futuristic Cityscape Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coca-cola-y3000-zero-sugar.md) - [LED Can Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-smart-can.md) - [Mountainous Repurposed Crate Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-installation.md) - [Floating Canopy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piloti-canopy.md)
