Once I started making the project I tried to think of different scenarios that she would possibly be thinking of as she is sun bathing or just hanging out. To me cats seem so quiet and sneaky so I wanted to show how her thoughts were exactly the OPPOSITE of what it appears she does on a day to day basis. I originally wanted to show her having a blast on a roller coaster or sailing in a boat. Pretty much doing things that no cat will ever do unless they are just extremely privileged.
It is sort of a joke with my roommate and I that Elsie (that's the cat) is plotting to kill me. She is just not very nice and the fact that I harass her doesn't help either. Also when I take pictures of her her eyes glow and it looks completely creepy. My final project is Elsie day dreaming about the time where she will take over Hell and have all the dogs in chains under her command. In Elsie's Hell clones of her are the rulers and they rule over the dogs. Its ironic because usually people tend to have this notion that cats and dogs don't get along and that dogs are the dominant animal. In Elsie's version she is the ruler and the dogs are the submissive ones. I think she would be very pleased with this fantasy that I have conjured up :)
