Cats and vases is a research series started in 2023,
looking for the fragility in touch of the aesthetic image of cats with vases.
An ode to my two cats, Arca and Efe, my muses for this series.
The aesthetic image of cats with vases is so tempting, yet so dangerous.
Cats and vases is a depiction of the tension between two individuals who should not be together,
but make yet such a beautiful picture.
