CORE DEFINITION

When you take a seemingly beautiful photo (such as a sunset or ruins), you suddenly realize that thousands of identical photos already exist. This is the frustration of "exhausted originality."

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Reconciliation with creation. Accept that "there is nothing new under the sun." Do not stagnate in pursuit of absolute "unprecedentedness." Your uniqueness lies not in the subject matter, but in your unique filter (perspective) and combination.
