This was a very interesting piece that in a way shows that how actions such as appropriation of art do have consequences. No matter what was the initial intent was, the message the picture that was conveyed after the meaning being changed a little entirely changed people’s perception of it. This story is somewhat related to Lethem’s piece, which acknowledges the fact that all art pieces are inspired from some art that the artists might have seen before. It makes sense if Susan feels like her image was violated by Joy when he used it for his work, but then again, she also used the man for her own work. This raises the important question that when is the line between inspiration and plagiarism crossed? Who determines this?
