Cat’s Cradle

Based on the book by Kurt Vonnegut. From the book the character "Newt" acknowledges the falsehood of his painting of the cat’s cradle, he still finds comfort in creating its likeness. He also continues to find comfort in his painting even during apocalyptic circumstances that include the deaths of his siblings and friends. The themes Vonnegut tackles in Cat’s Cradle are inherently dark and heavy, but the motif of art is a reminder that value and comfort can still be found in the arts, even in a world that seems meaningless.
