But, people online soon recognized the image from Ethiopian art student Gelila Mesfin's Instagram. Mesfin, currently studying in Rhode Island, posted the digital drawing she made from a photo taken by Collier Schorr in October 2016. After someone alerted Mesfin to the copycat, she posted screenshots from the DNAinfo article showing the mural, writing, "How can you just steal someone's artwork ... someone's hard work and claim it like it's yours... how can you go on record and say you designed this... this is so disheartening and so disrespectful on so many levels."
