# Eggcellently Emotional Art These Emotive Eggs by Vanessa Dualib Look Like They're About to Crack By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2011-05-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanessa-dualib References: [golberz](http://www.golberz.com/2011/04/creative-eggs-paintings.html) & [vanessadualib](http://vanessadualib.com/) Whether they are stuck behind bars or awaiting the treacherous fate of boiling water, these Emotive Egg artworks by Vanessa Dualib are full of expression. If you've ever wondered how your egg really feels before submerging it in boiling hot water, these designs will provide ample insight. Vanessa Dualib does an amazing job at taking an [everyday edible object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-good-egg-pet-food-company) and bringing it to life. Her work is humorous, yet subtle as she draws a group of sad eggs weeping around a [cracked shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cracking-pistachio-easter-egg), or pencils on looks of terror as a hand lowers the egg into boiling water. Whatever emotion Vanessa Dualib tries to achieve, she always ensures her subjects convey as much expression as possible. It's hard not to feel sorry for these fragile snacks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Emotive Egg Art:** Opportunity for artists to create unique and expressive artworks using eggs as a medium. - **Edible Object Art:** Potential for artists to explore different ways of bringing everyday edible objects to life through art. - **Humorous Food Art:** Emerging trend of using food as a medium for creating humorous and entertaining artworks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Artists can capitalize on the trend of creating emotive artworks using eggs as a medium. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to collaborate with artists to create unique and engaging edible artworks. - **Entertainment:** Potential for incorporating humorous food art into entertainment industries such as advertising, movies, and television shows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lifelike Egg Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-candles-1.md) - [Urban Egg Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humansized-egg-installation.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md) - [Cost-Conscious Egg Cartons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartons-of-eggs.md) - [User-Friendly Egg Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggbath.md) - [Viral Egg Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-flights.md) - [Artisan Easter Egg Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loeuf-gourmand.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md)
