In the summer heat, the painting captures a still life in front of a door. The cat waiting for its owner is the only element breaking the seemingly lifeless scene. At first glance, it may evoke the atmosphere of a Greek street, yet the inspiration stems from the winding, colorful streets of the Tunisian town of Sidi Bou Saïd, built on a hilltop. The breeze, which cools the heat, emphasizes the beauty of the plants yearning for rain. Despite this, the central element remains the door, symbolizing the life behind it, a place where not just anyone can step into casually. The waiting pet at the door expects only one person: its owner. Passersby do not catch its attention.
