The [photography project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) captures [miniature meteor models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formex-essence-ceramica-dark-matter) that are made out of crumpled up [pieces of paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) and thrown up into the air to seem as though they have been photographed flying through space. While there are many people who live in fear of the day that a meteor might hit Earth and end life as we know it, the Thomas Brown Meteor photography series emphasizes that these kinds of worries hold no actual weight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Miniature Meteor Models:** Creating miniature meteor models using unconventional materials. - **Photography Project:** Using photography to create the illusion of meteor models flying through space. - **Emphasizing Weightless Worries:** Highlighting the insignificance of fears and worries that hold no actual weight. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Exploring innovative techniques in photography to create unique visual experiences. - **Art:** Promoting creative expression and unconventional materials in art projects. - **Mindfulness:** Developing strategies to alleviate unnecessary worries and encourage a sense of calm. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stone-Like Meteorite Luxe Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swipe-bag-1.md) - [Horizontal Glass Sphere Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant.md) - [Celestial Sculptural Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-collection.md) - [Comet-Inspired Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oort.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Meteorite Dust-Made Bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/european-space-agency-1.md) - [Stardust Museum Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kent-monkman-being-legendary.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md)
