Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gigi's motivation to destroy her negatives to prevent further reproduction and potentially increase the value of existing prints aligns with treating those prints as commodities. A commodity in this context refers to an item of value, which can be bought, sold, or traded, and its scarcity (due to the destruction of negatives) could increase its value.
