The Lucky Cat centers on a small tiger cat, its blue eyes lifted in quiet wonder. Painted on hand-prepared paper in soft beige and earth tones, the figure rests within layered fragments of handmade surfaces — brush-marked papers, textured jute, and prepared denim. Set upon a base of vintage jeans, the work carries the spirit of boro and wabi-sabi, where resourcefulness and imperfection reveal unexpected beauty. Designed to hang with a simple rod, the collage merges tenderness and resilience, echoing the long tradition of cats as guardians and bringers of good fortune.
