Author's sculpture "Cat of Desires"

The sculpture “Cat of Desires" is a large art object embodied in shining mirror plastic, striking both in scale and energy. Its generalized shape, polished to full reflection, resembles both a monument and a soft toy: a rounded body without sharp edges, paws stretched forward, and a slightly ironic muzzle create an image of total acceptance and inner peace. There is no aggression or tension in him — only benevolent, enveloping kindness. It seems that this cat knows more about the world than he's letting on, and is just waiting to be asked about something important.

The light reflected on its surface greatly enhances the effect: the figure does not just fit into the interior, it becomes its center. This cat does not look, but sees everything, does not speak, but performs. His radiance is a reflection of the one who approaches him. The gloss covering every line of the body creates the illusion of fluidity, as if the boundary between the object and space is being violated. Up close, the sculpture seems almost alive, so strong is its visual and emotional appeal. She doesn't ask for attention—she takes it in.

The sculpture was created according to a pencil sketch by one girl, with the hope that this particular cat will be able to fulfill the desires of all people on his way. Welcome.Art, within the framework of which this object is implemented, strives not only to promote the creativity of children with disabilities, but also to form a community where art is a way of expressing love, empathy and participation. The Cat of Desires is not just an art object, but a living metaphor of hope that can be touched.
