# Shape-Shifting Artists Nikki S. Lee Transforms Herself into Artwork By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikki-s-lee References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32427/) & [abhfya](http://abhfya.com/fuckingyoung/nikki-s-lee/) Nikki S. Lee has got some serious artistic chops. The 'projects' she works on all involve the artist herself, as she transforms into the scene and setting that she wants to capture. For example, Nikki S. Lee dresses up as a senior citizen in the 'seniors project,' becoming a senior citizen as part of her work. The pictures are pretty incredible, as she transforms herself beyond recognition into whatever 'project' idea she is working on at the time. Nikki S. Lee has a great imagination and commitment to her work, taking on these numerous different roles cannot be an easy task. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Artistic Self-transformation:** Artists using their own bodies as canvas to create transformative artworks. - **Identity Exploration:** Artists exploring different identities and roles through self-portraits. - **Immersive Art Experiences:** Artists creating immersive art experiences by becoming part of the artwork. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fine Arts:** Fine artists leveraging their own bodies as a medium for self-expression. - **Photography:** Photographers capturing self-portraits that challenge traditional notions of identity. - **Performance Art:** Performance artists blurring the line between art and life by immersing themselves into their artworks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Pop Art-Style Blocked Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-in-red.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md)
