This series of photographs, titled "Pablo", inspired by Picasso's light drawings in 1949.
Cat light drawings 貓光畫 are animated. They provide an update and a preview of how Picasso's drawings would look like if they were animated.
The Cat light drawings were made with light in a darkened room/ outdoor space;
in effect, the images vanished as soon as they were created and captured with a camera in the form of playful, electrified abstract images of the cat.
"When I close my eyes, I see images of cats; it made me question how my brain forms an image and how an artist pictures the painting subject before it is captured in her art.
The light drawings is a way for me to capture the closed-eye imageries formed in my head (the 1st step of my art creation)
– The constant activity between the neurons in my brain and my vision are captured with light."
I paint cats during the day on canvas.
At rest, I still see cats and they are captured with light.
