Lorenzo Nanni has made plant life creepy, which is generally difficult. The artist uses silk and embroidery to create his plant life, and then photographs the works surrounding his human models.
There are images of plants growing from a neck, a vine surrounding a man and fungus growing in a woman's hair. The images are dark and entirely creative. Check out Lorenzo Nanni's work above.
Implications - Eco-conscious consumers have begun to consider the relationship between their bodies and the natural. These consumers feel a deep affinity for nature. Companies should consider how their brand feeds into this idea of a deep connection to the surrounding environment.
