Home is Where I'm Needed

A woman and her cat — the image of comfort. Yet beneath the surface lies the price of that comfort. She cannot leave, cannot collapse, cannot be reckless. The cat demands structure, food, affection, and presence. She dreams of foreign places, of letting go. But she is held in place by soft fur and round golden eyes — a sweet, subtle obligation. This painting captures the bittersweet irony of caretaking love: the one thing you cherish is the reason you stay still.
