Life's thread, 2020
Õli lõuendiil, kellamehhanism
“The thread of life” is a work painted during the pandemic of 2020. The cat is a symbol of long life. Everyone is familiar with the saying that a cat has nine lives. The cat depicted in the painting is calm and does not worry too much, because he has nine lives and he does not have to live in fear that his time may be short due to a pandemic. The piece also has other symbols, such as a ball of yarn, which is a favorite toy of cats. In myths and stories, the ball of yarn is treated as a connection between the world behind the mirror and the material world. Yarn, but it’s split and the watch is oozing from it. A clock is a symbol of time. Time is scattered, unclear, out of hand during a pandemic. No soul knows how long it has been given this lifetime in a situation where the life of every being is in danger. The cat is surrounded by flowers of the thread of life, which directly refer to the title of the painting and the content of the subject.
