This work is an autobiographical look at life with a cat.
The project includes oil paintings, a cartoon story and a wood sculpture installation.
Cats are bystanders and protagonists in the works. In the paintings, cat figures bear witness to human contradictions. Alongside the drawings, I wrote stories about my own life and the changes in the world. The installation features a shamanic creature in a closet and a glass bottle. The bottle contains a memory of our late cat: cat poop.
