Cats

Cats in this series belong to an autonomous dimension.

They are not metaphors, not companions, not reflections of human psychology. They exist according to their own logic — parallel to the human world, occasionally intersecting with it, never explaining themselves.

Calm, ironic, indifferent to meaning as humans define it, these figures introduce a subtle shift in reality. Familiar scenes become unstable. Perspective changes. The viewer is no longer certain from which side observation occurs.

Cats here do not symbolize mystery. They embody it — as a form of independent presence.
