A personal back scratcher to give yourself a pat on the back for surviving 2020 and the pandemic and hopefully thriving in the future. Nodding to the silent struggles that many faced in 2020, Kitty Kat Pat Scratcher borders between playfulness and the loneliness of the global pandemic. Ling Datchuk reminds us to reassure ourselves in the face of adversity and advocates for our shared struggles.
“Thinking about touch during this time (COVID 2020) and how a simple pat on the back can be so reassuring. It makes you feel seen, acknowledged, and maybe for a brief moment everything will be okay.” - Jennifer Ling Datchuk
