Mom and Orange

Dianna Dai

Mom and Orange explores the relationship between my mother and her ginger cat, Orange. Over the years I've watched their dynamic deepen into something that defies easy description — Orange dictates when she wakes, when she eats, when she walks. I set out to capture this dynamic through photography and storytelling, expecting to find something lopsided or absurd. Instead the images revealed a peaceful, enduring companionship. Whatever control Orange exerts, it seems entirely mutual.
