About the artwork
This work is part of my Making Home Series and exploring on the phrases I have learned moving to Ireland from Taiwan. A quiet play on the saying %u201Cthe cat is out of the bag,%u201D this work draws from a small moment with my own cat as a kitten%u2014curious, half-hidden, and entirely absorbed in a Penney%u2019s shopping bag. What began as an everyday domestic scene becomes a reflection on ritual, humour, and Irish slang woven into daily life. The bag becomes a stage, a container of movement and mischief, where secrecy is undone not dramatically, but gently%u2014through play. In this moment, the ordinary turns symbolic: curiosity escapes its boundaries, and nothing remains quite contained.
