How can memory, generational trauma, and national identity be expressed through re-imagined wartime portraits, where the absurdity and tragedy of war are heightened by replacing human figures with simplified cartoon cats? By contrasting innocence and brutality, cartoon simplicity and historical realism, my work seeks to explore how the past continues to shape the present, how empathy transcends lived experience, and how remembrance can become both an act of mourning and of pride.

The process starts with research, finding images,and sketching out ideas. This is when I decide how to stylize it.
Then, using a photograph as reference, I will draw the figure on paper with a pencil. After the drawing is finished, I’ll take a picture and convert it into a digital format.
I’ll take that and combine it with the original photograph in a cutout style, touch up the drawing, and addfinishing details.
