Building on the absurdity of Millionaire, 2018, these paintings take the concept of wealth and status and apply it to cats—creatures far removed from the human constructs of capitalism. The cats are depicted in resort-like settings, embodying the notion of newfound wealth. By shifting from humans to animals, the works deepen the critique of a system where wealth and success become detached from reality. This absurd scenario forces the viewer to reconsider the value placed on wealth and the societal frameworks that uphold it.
