Story
Imitation and dependence
Imitation and dependence are the themes of Copycat. A small, precious sphere and a larger, luminous one sit side by side, and the smaller lives in the shadow of the larger orb. The design turns a simple pairing into an intimate presence and reflects the bond between two beings.
