The audience can touch the rehearsal with my cat made with punch needle embroidery and feel the texture of the cat's hair.
It's more like a personal relationship with my cat, but I was thinking of making other people feel comfortable and relieved when they pet my cat's hair. I also feel that it is a symbolic idea, since my cat is the only member of my family in America and I cannot imagine losing her when she reaches old age. There is no facial expression on the cat and I feel like this is almost the rehearsal before my cat dies and the title would be “Rehearsal with my cat.” There are two different interpretations of this statement, one is that we are comfortable in relationships and forget we may lose them at any time, so we must love them right now in order to maintain them.
