‘Omen’ (2021) depicts a detail from Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s ‘Boy bitten by a Lizard’ (c. 1594-5), painted on a cast resin sculpture. It shows a youth recoiled in fright, dissolving into the cat’s patterned fur. His terrified astonishment, caught in a scream, reveals a diviner of foreboding illuminations. An ornamental rose, tucked behind one ear, symbolizes the transience of beauty and life—a secret premonition of what is to come. His horrified stance seems to mimic the cat, who playfully reclines. In stark contrast to the youth, the feline enjoys a moment of clairvoyance, cunningly observing sublime revelations. As a symbol of both good and ill portent, the cat has an enigmatic quality as unpredictable as its temperaments—perceived as a guardian and benefactor, while also emblematic of darkness and death.
《预兆》（2021）中，浇注树脂雕塑上绘着卡拉瓦乔（Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio）《被蜥蜴咬伤的男孩》（约1594–1595）中的一个局部。猫身的纹理中浮现出一名少年的身影，他神情惊惶，眉头深锁，仿佛一位洞察不祥的先知。他别在耳后的玫瑰暗示着生命与美的短暂易逝，或许也预示着即将到来之事。少年的姿态和猫侧卧玩耍的动作形成呼应。若有所思。与他的惊惶形成鲜明对比的是，这只旁观的猫似乎正享受着灵视的时刻。它以狡黠的洞察力，沉着地注视着超凡的启示。猫作为善与恶的双重象征，神秘莫测，既被视为守护者和庇佑者，同时又象征着黑暗与死亡。
