Backstory: I have an interest in Image Recognition and chose AI Spy giving it a little twist using Domesticated animals. Nowadays, I keep seeing posts about Missing Dogs or Cats and it hurts me a lot. Even though I’ve never raised any animals personally, but I did cater to a stray cat in my previous neighbourhood near Konkuk University Station, where I previously resided before the pandemic began. I named him “Annyeonghaseyo” which means “Hi” or “Are you well? Are you at peace?” in Korean. Many people know the term as “Hi” but it means “Are you well or at peace?”. I named “Annyeonghaseyo” because he would ALWAYS respond and come to me when I say that. I am quite courteous with everyone, humans and animals like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc, included. Therefore, when I first saw him while I was returning back from University. I saw him and waved Hi and that was the start. I would look at him and ask him, communicating with him like an innocent child. He was there whenever I walked by. I didn’t know if it was safe to feed him and asked an online expat community. They guided on what to do and what not to do. I bought food for him from a nearby convenience store with water. Water is essential! I fed him. He would come and purr, glide near my bell bottom jeans and that got my heart. During the start of the pandemic, I moved to another area across the Han River from where I previously resided and I kept thinking about Annyeonghaseyo all the time. Who would be there for him? I had a feeling the neighbourhood people would take care of him, and that kind of gave me solace during the pandemic for 2 years.
I used all images of cats and dogs. I also used toon animals. The results were brilliant.
