Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

“These Spikes Don’t Deter, They Kill.”

Across cities and rooftops, sharp metal spikes are installed under the guise of “deterrence.” But let’s call them what they really are: weapons. Designed to injure, impale, and even kill birds, especially pigeons, these brutal devices do not discourage nesting. They destroy lives.

Pigeons are intelligent, sensitive beings who have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. They are loyal, resilient, and devoted parents. Yet their babies are being born into nests built atop spikes. Mothers try to protect their young with their own bodies. The result is often a slow, silent death, pierced wings, crushed feet, broken necks. These are not accidents. This is cruelty disguised as cleanliness.

There are humane alternatives. Spikes are not the answer, they are a symptom of a deeper sickness: the refusal to coexist with nature. We must do better. We must speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

This poster is a cry for change. A plea for comion.

Let it be heard.
