This visual narrative challenges viewers to reflect on the true cost of commercialization and the importance of honoring cultural origins.
The Cost of Creativity

A factory harvests the “secret sauce” from the artist’s mind, bottling creativity for mass consumption while stripping it of meaning and context.
This piece reveals the hidden cost of profit-driven systems—lost authenticity, erasure of originators, and a cycle that exploits rather than uplifts innovation.

"Vulture" is both a critique and a call to awareness—a visual reminder of the value of authenticity, the cost of appropriation, and the need to honor the true source of innovation.
