Artists Rugilė Navickaitė and Nikas Vosylius combined their creative visions to paint a cat on the wall, which has become a symbol of Marijampolė. This cat represents freedom, independence, and the ability to choose different paths. Cats are special animals that can establish a connection between this world and the beyond. The doors depicted in the artwork symbolize a boundary – our opportunity to enter or exit. Some doors are open, while others are closed. Open doors provide the chance to choose which world to enter or which one to leave behind. Throughout history and across different cultures, there have been intermediaries who help transition from one level of understanding to another. This artwork invites viewers to experience and engage, to choose their own visual and metaphorical worlds, to interpret and assign new meanings. Cultural objects gain significance through their processes of perception, use, and interpretation (Umberto 2004: 59).
