# Connected Human Resin Sculptures Nexus by Tracey Sarsfield Encourages Mindful Reflection By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nexus-by-tracey-sarsfield References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2014/05/06/connected-human-resin-sculptures/) & [traceysarsfield](http://www.traceysarsfield.com/) Nexus by Tracey Sarsfield is a powerful sculpture that explores the connectivity between two people. It is made up of [two human forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-bust), both of whom are sitting in a cross-legged position as though meditating. Their faces are slightly upturned as well, showing that they are not looking directly at each other, but focusing on a higher state of being. Made out of resin, paint, vinyl and fibreglass, Nexus by Tracey Sarsfield is connected a number of [taut black wires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes). These wires happen to form a beautiful pattern on their backs before extending in a linear fashion towards each other. In a way, these wires can be interpreted as an energy or essence that is being exchanged between the two. Deep and powerful, the sculpture encourages [mindful reflection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity) in its audience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Connected Human Sculptures:** Exploring the connectivity between individuals through sculptural art, offering opportunities for interactive and immersive experiences. - **Mindful Reflection:** Promoting mindfulness and self-reflection through art, creating opportunities for personal growth and well-being. - **Innovation in Sculptural Materials:** Exploring new materials and techniques in sculpture, pushing the boundaries of traditional art and creating unique and engaging experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Sculpture:** Creating new opportunities for artists and sculptors to experiment with interactive and immersive experiences, attracting a wider audience. - **Wellness and Mindful Living:** Infusing art and sculpture with mindfulness practices, offering new avenues for wellness and personal development. - **Material Innovation:** Exploring new materials and techniques in sculpture, creating opportunities for material manufacturers and suppliers to meet the demands of innovative artists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Intricate Resin Hand-Painted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snh003.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md)
