For Hiro Ichikawa, animals have become more than subjects to paint. They have become a source of comfort and inspiration, and through his work, he hopes to share that same sense of warmth, strength, and compassion with others.

For the Philippine Animal Welfare Association Society (PAWS) two familiar faces are featured in the exhibit: Shelter cat Therese and community cat Denmar Seeing their stories become part of this celebration of companionship is something truly special.

Visit the exhibit at 1F Atrium, Opus Mall, Bridgetowne Destination Estate, Quezon City. The exhibit is ongoing until 19 July.
