Original artwork description:

I thought for a long time about how to name this story, what it means to me. After all, I experience each story internally, and its name is born from my own feelings and emotions from what I've experienced.
⠀
The first time this plot was created in graphics at 2021 year, and it was called «Decoration» It was about how a cat on a horse's back is a decoration. And in any stable, the real decoration is not the horse, but the cat. But this time it's different. The roles of the horse and the cat are completely different.
⠀
When they appeared on the canvas, after the initial stages of work, the painting fell silent for 6 months, and I was racking my brains on how to find the key for it and move forward. And suddenly, I felt that the painting was asking for warmth. The horse, the cat, and even the mice responded to it instantly. When I returned to the canvas and started to paint this warmth, I felt that I had found the key. And the key leads to Home.
⠀
Because Home is warmth. Not just physical warmth. It's the warmth of those who are near. Warmth from the memories that Home absorbs, from the stories born within it. Home is when your loved ones are nearby. People, animals, and even beloved possessions. For someone, Home is a place. A place that gives a sense of permanence and security. And for someone, Home is the power of love and support, intertwined with warmth, creating a space of safety. Yet, it's not necessarily tied to a specific place. For each person, Home is unique, especially when the world outside is so changeable.
⠀
Home is where you can kiss your loved one, hug your cat, or embrace your dog, touch the warm breath of your beloved horse, and simply close your eyes, dissolving into this feeling. The feeling of Home.
