This cat belongs to my parents-in-law, and his name is Moisha.
Is he not magnificent?!

Got yelled at by a Québecois teenager for taking this picture of my husband while we were on the train?
Edit: Adding the link to the photography law in Quebec that was provided to me!

At nearly seven feet tall, this “poem-picture” greets you as you turn the corner to Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon.
This work portrays a friend of Oscar yi Hou’s, a queer Filipino American, whose recent citizenship is implied through the shadow the subject casts against the backdrop of the American flag. The text on the red stripes appropriates the welcome letter that the subject received from the U.S. president upon naturalization. By replacing the word “America” with “Empire,” the painting alludes to the history of American imperialism and ‘nation-building’ in transpacific regions, which has impacted the sitter’s country of birth.
See this work as part of Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon on the fourth floor. #OscaryiHouBkM
