Art has an origin which is the human mind it is owned by the creator. After being expose to the audience, minds become the new “owner” of the piece of work. It takes imagination and creativity to make art, to build something that can catch societies attention specially when everyone have a different perspective towards things, different points of views. Some people might think that creating birds with cellphones is not creative, but what they don’t realize is that something with a different purpose can be view as “messengers from the sky telling us that a new day has started”. It takes creativity to create an image out of different pictures. Art can definitely be created in many different ways whether it is  recycle or an idea from someone else and recreated from someone else point of view or from its origin.
