The work seems particularity relevant for the spooky Halloween season, but also fitting nicely year-round in a Victorian-styled home. I look forward to seeing more from Solenne Morigeaud, especially since [mirrors seem to be a medium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue) frequently untouched by artists. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Contemporary Glass Art:** Opportunities to innovate in the creation of unique and intricate glasswork designs using modern techniques such as laser cutting, etching and layering. - **Transparent Mirror Art:** Opportunities to incorporate transparency and negative space techniques into mirror art to create captivating and modern designs. - **Year-round Halloween Decor:** Opportunities to expand the market of Halloween-themed decor beyond the Halloween season by incorporating spooky elements into year-round products, such as Victorian home decor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design Industry:** Artists and designers can incorporate modern techniques and spooky elements to create unique and captivating glasswork and mirror designs. - **Home Decor Industry:** Home decor companies can create a new market of year-round Halloween-themed decor by incorporating spooky elements into Victorian-styled home decor designs. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can tap into the niche market of contemporary glass art by curating and promoting unique and modern glasswork designs created by emerging artists and designers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reflective Water-Themed Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakes-collection.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Sophisticated Copper Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manu-ba.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bton-brut.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Optical-Illusion Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sevval-kalaycikli.md) - [Dynamic Structural Mirror Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md)
