貓於人的關係 Cat and People Relations

現代貓與人的關係

Cat and People Relations

由於城市化和網絡媒體的發展，人類快節奏的生活和不斷減小的生存空間導致近年來養貓的人數不斷增長。

The number of the 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. 

貓咪特殊的個性也導致了貓與人之間特殊關係的產生。一些人喜愛貓可能會由於他們嚮往和貓一樣的生活方式（儘管幾乎不可能實現），比如可愛的外表，生活無憂無慮，優雅而獨立等等

In the meantime, compared 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 by 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. 

作為一名貓奴和插畫師，在這個項目中，yajie將網絡上流行的memes與自己貓咪的照片相結合，創作了一組插畫， 一方面想要表現她與自己的貓咪之間有趣的關係，另一方面也想體現貓現在在網絡上面的流行。她的繪畫風格的靈感來源於stone lithography，後來逐漸發展成為自己獨特的簡約繪畫風格。

As both cat lover and illustrator, in this project, Jamie 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.

後來她將這些插畫上傳於instagram，並用其界面截圖將它做成一本240cm長、手機大小的連琴書，用以強調貓在網絡上的流行。

She uploaded those illustrations on the Instagram, then she used the screenshots to make a 240cm long mobile size accordion book, in order to emphasize the popularity of cats on the Internet.
