About "The Cat Waiting for Strawberries"



Inspiration: Strawberry is a magical fruit. When the buds first bloom, it inspires endless reverie and is a symbol of beauty. The cat is looking forward to the strawberry blooming soon. The white petals are so pure and beautiful. The cat buries the faint fragrance in its memory. Finally, the fruit is ripe. The cat climbs up the long ladder and wants to look at this magical red world. With good wishes, the cat shares its beloved fruit with the fish it admires. Many beautiful things in time do not only come from the things themselves, but are fermented through the carving of the mind and the baptism of time. After that, we seal it up and keep the beautiful breath in our memory.
