# Fast Food Forest Installations (UPDATE) Yuken Teruya Creates Miniature Tree Sculptures to Go By Cody Turner | Published 2012-08-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notice-forest References: [huhmagazine](http://www.huhmagazine.co.uk/4125/miniature-tree-carved-from-mcdonalds-bag) & [davidbsmithgallery](http://www.davidbsmithgallery.com/exhibitions) Japanese artist Yuken Teruya has done it again with another fast food sculpture entitled 'Notice-Forest,' which uses a McDonald's take out bag to create an extremely intricate miniature tree. The take out bag is from McDonald’s current Olympic campaign and what Yuken Teruya has done is cut out holes in the bag and used them to create this magnificent piece of art. Once the bag is placed on its side, light shines through the bag and almost illuminates the tree in such a way that it looks real. An interesting note is that you can still make out the words “USA” in the tree leaves. Yuken has done similar miniature artwork like this before using fast food take-away bags to create tree sculptures. Notice-Forest will be on display at [David B. Smith’s](http://www.davidbsmithgallery.com/) group show in Denver, Colarado until September 1st 2012. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Miniature Fast-food Art:** Using fast-food take-out bags to create miniature art. - **Sustainability Through Art:** Creating environmentally conscious installations through art. - **Innovative Recycling:** Transforming everyday objects into art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists and designers to use everyday objects as a medium. - **Fast-food Industry:** Exploring new marketing opportunities through unique collaborations with artists. - **Sustainability Industry:** Using art as a platform to promote sustainable practices and concepts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Take-Out Box Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tablebag.md) - [Multifunctional Cardboard QSR Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tablebag.md) - [Sustainable Forest-Themed Kids Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-happy-meals.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Mangrove Forest-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/once-upon-a-forest.md) - [Sound-Interactive Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arborhythm.md) - [Minimalist QSR Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-japan-packaging.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md)
