Copy Cat
Copy Cat is about the strange economy of attention in art.
At the center, the copycat is huge, grinning, celebrated and impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, the original artist is pushed into the background, screaming into the void.
The piece reflects the frustration of seeing imitation rewarded while originality goes unnoticed. In an attention-driven culture, the loudest image often travels further than the most original one.
The crowd keeps looking at the cat.
