Cat 

Mily Possoz captured this cat with delicate watercolor. Cats, creatures of the night, have always held a powerful symbolic position. In ancient Egypt, they were revered, embodying grace and mystery, often associated with goddesses. But move through time and cultures, and the cat’s image shifts. In medieval Europe, a shadow falls; cats become symbols of the occult, linked to witchcraft and darkness. Here, Possoz’s cat reflects the duality inherent in its historical symbolism. Its watchful eyes and composed posture may trigger primal memories of independence, feminine allure, and latent wildness. Consider how the cat appears in myriad forms across art history, each era imbuing it with new layers of meaning. It serves as a potent reminder of how symbols evolve, shaped by our collective psyche.
