The series is called “In Search Of Comfort," and pairs models with skeletons in a [macabre twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears). The models do a tremendous job; I would find [posing with a skeleton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-skeleton-hard-disk) far too creepy. Even looking at the position of some of the hands makes me a bit squeamish. The end result is, however, very effective and you find yourself having to look at the pictures in more detail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Skeleton Photography:** Opportunities to create new visual experiences using skeletons in photography. - **Macabre Art:** Disruptive innovation in the art world by merging contrasting elements into thought-provoking pieces. - **Unconventional Modeling:** Opportunities to break away from traditional modeling techniques and incorporate unusual elements. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Skeleton photography can be used in fashion, advertising, and art photography. - **Art:** The use of skeletons can be applied to various mediums in the art world, such as painting, sculpture, and mixed media. - **Fashion:** The fusion of skeletons with fashion can create edgy and innovative collections that challenge traditional standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Skeletal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Skeletally Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaise-espinhal.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Industrial Skeletal Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-skeleton.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Anatomical Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair.md)
