After hours and hours of online stalking, she has collected over 5,000 images and screen shots of random Facebookers. She has taken her obsession up a notch by printing strangers’ [profile pictures on plain white t-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playboi-carti-supreme). Indeed, your [Facebook profile photo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/depop-outfits) is often the most beautiful and the most edited version of you, so Mavi Staiano’s photos can be considered the best of the best. The collection of photographs are mostly All-American-looking, happy-go-lucky youths frolicking about. Mavi Staiano draws influence from American photographer Richard Prince’s re-appropriation of photography and thus, the issue of copyright obviously springs up.
