Description

Cats with vases is part of a research series looking fort he 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 and attractive picture.

The fragility in touch, a soft tap, which can destroy what was once a vase into nothing more than a thousand sharp pieces of broken ceramics.
