The dynamic art pieces depict [woodland creatures like deer and bears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) in a non-traditional way. Stevenson's [alabaster figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti) are infused with intricate flowers and botanical details that appear to grow out of the skin of her animal subjects. Resembling the moss that grows atop a fallen tree, these flower-infused sculptures are intricate and conceptual. The gorgeous art pieces are somewhat disturbing at first glance but reveal crystallized elements that are a colorful addition to the all-white forms. According to Rebecca Stevenson, her latest body of work "investigates the relationship between innocence, consumption and desire." Her pieces explore [botanical and anatomical forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany) and depict the beauty and vulnerability of wild creatures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flower-infused Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists to incorporate natural elements into their sculptures in unexpected ways. - **Exploration of Innocence, Consumption and Desire:** Opportunity for new artwork that explores different themes surrounding these concepts. - **Non-traditional Animal Depiction:** Opportunity to depict animals in unexpected ways to create art that is both beautiful and thought-provoking. ### Where This Applies - **Fine Art:** Opportunity for artists to incorporate new ideas and techniques into their work and push the boundaries of traditional art. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to create unique and eye-catching decor pieces that incorporate natural elements and are conversation starters. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to take inspiration from these sculptures and incorporate intricate botanical details into their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Climate-Awareness Soft Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamstones.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md)
