Fashion photographer Pablo Arroyo seems to be inspired by insomnia and sleeplessness in his photography work. This gallery presents examples of Pablo Arroyo’s images, showing [restless men on beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anew-project).

**Implications** - Customers desire art to be more than just an attractive illustration. Designs with the ability to relate are appealing on a greater level to consumers who look for more in a piece of work. Designers could dig deeper for meaning in order to attract greater attention.
