现代猫于人的关系

由于城市化和网络媒体的发展，人类快节奏的生活和不断减小的生存空间导致近年来养猫的人数不断增长。

The number of cat as pets are keeping increasing due to urbanization and the

development of the Internet, fast-paced city life, smaller living spaces and city

loneliness, there might be more cat-lovers than before.

猫咪特殊的个性也导致了猫与人之间特殊关系的产生。一些人喜爱猫可能会由于他们向往和猫一样的生活方式（尽管几乎不可能实现），比如可爱的外表，生活无忧无虑，优雅而独立等等

At the meantime, comparing with dogs, cat's special characters result in the special relationship between cat and human. Some people own cats because they would like to have a similar lifestyle, being supported for being attractive, living without stress, and being elegant and independent. This is not the case for most human lives, so these dreams are subsumed into cat ownership.

作为一名猫奴和插画师，在这个项目中，我将网络上流行的memes与自己猫咪的照片相结合，创作了一组插画， 一方面想要表现我与自己的猫咪之间有趣的关系，另一方面也想体现猫现在在网络上面的流行。我的绘画风格的灵感来源于stone lithography，后来逐渐发展成为自己独特的简约绘画风格。

As both catlover and illustrator, in this project, yajie combined cat memes with her cat’s photos to create a series of illustration, on the one hand, she wants to express the interesting relationship between her cat and herself, on the other hand, she also wants to express the popularity of cats in Internet. The inspiration of her drawing style is from the stone lithography, and finally became her own special drawing style.
