This grassy sculpture is featured at the 2011 Figment Festival in NYC alongside a range of [unusual pieces of interactive art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-sculptures). The bushy green [Bigfoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninlo) has been designed in the hulking ape-like image of the mythical creature, sewn with soil and strips of sod to give him a friendlier look. The figure becomes all the more amicable when visitors to the outdoor exhibitions take their places behind the cutout figurine. A hole created in the head of the statue allows anyone to put his face into this Yeti by Misstika, instantly brightening up the green beast with a lighthearted smile. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Outdoor Art:** Creating interactive art installations in public spaces that encourage visitor participation by allowing them to interact with the art. - **Green Sculptures:** Using vegetation or natural materials in the creation of sculptures for an eco-friendly and sustainable art form. - **Mythical Creatures:** Incorporating mythical creatures, legends and folklore to bring a sense of mystery, magic and whimsy in public spaces through art installations. ### Where This Applies - **Art & Design:** Creating innovative art installations that use interactive components and sustainable materials. - **Tourism & Hospitality:** Developing interactive art installations in tourism hotspots to attract visitors and generate excitement in the community. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating unique and eco-friendly interactive art installations to elevate public events and create a memorable experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Interactive Mountain Oracles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whispering-mountains.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Bigfoot-Inspired Bizarre Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninlo.md) - [Artist-Designed Sports Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-de-guzman.md) - [Historic Contemporary Sculptural Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawsholiday.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md) - [Outdoor Wildlife Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-elephant-migration.md)
