It Is but It Is Not


Today I was browsing the internet and found this image.

It looks familiar but not from the work of artist whom I have been following for almost 6 years.

Today the world had become small,
and distances won't feel that far anymore.
We can even feel like knowing somebody their whole life,
knew every member of their families, maybe every corner of their houses,
every single piece of their work,
eventhough we never even met them,
and they don't even know us!

My point is,
people can differentiate between inspirations and imitations.
Sometimes we see something and eventhough it reminds us to somebody or some other work we've seen before,
it's undeniably an original piece of work.

Sometimes,
All we see is just...copies!

I love Geninne's works. Kdg2 pelik juga tgk dia tak watermark or make any kind of protection pada foto2 dia yg sgt best di situ dan lain2 lagi...

ET, mango baru perasan the pic doesn't lead to the blog hehehee. Will try to get the url but anyway, I just checked the artist's etsy, and feel so glad that i haven't seen any of the design duplicates sold. Maybe she didn't make them for sell :).

Yeah, I noticed that too. But she's just so insanely organized, detailed, creative and productive perhaps she didn't have time to be so paranoia kan!
