To Boat, or not to Boat.

Perhaps the most popular meme theme pervading the internet's artistic space is the Cat.  A motif revived from the Egyptian era - perhaps homage to an age of increasingly centralized governmental powers* and a tip of the hat** to the Arab Spring - the Cat is now a staple of modern art and expression.
Here, in this piece, we see a Calico cat, robed in business attire engaging the domestic ritual of news paper and the breaking of the night's fast.  The text very simply reads "I should buy a boat"
This piece is a testament to a generation torn between the domestic standards associated with previous generations and the whimsical freedom which is presented in our endless tomorrows.  The suit, news paper and coffee recall a traditional patriarch set out to financially provide for his family.  Domesticity chaining him to the confines of what appears to be a suburban kitchen, away from daring adventure, locked in terminal safety.
Suddenly - abrupt in it's subtle fading into the white table cloth - the text dawns on us as a dream, violent and wondrous.  It's appearance on the table can almost be said to shake the room for it shatters all acceptance of normative life.
The Cat is now a pirate.  The cat - the domestic man, the suburban cess pit draws us away onto the high seas fraught with peril and adventure. The blues of the picture recall both sky and sea, the contrast of light through the window and darkened lower corners thrust the reader away and outward through the window into the dream-scape of boat ownership.
This piece is an embodiment of narrative assumption.  We, the audience, are now asked whether or not the Cat does indeed purchase a boat, or does the cat regress, sip it's coffee and trudge to the office, forever a landlubber.
