The Pawrenting is a visual narrative illustration series that portrays contemporary society through the lens of pet parenting. Pet parenting is a sociocultural phenomenon that reflects a shift in societal attitude towards dogs as family members, shaping a contemporary society. Pet parents view their dogs as integral members of their households, reflecting significant cultural and societal shifts.

This project seeks to portray the evolving role of dogs in human lives while critically examining the societal changes and issues that have led to this transformation. The series features six illustrations, each portraying the lives of pet parents in different scenarios depicting urban pet-friendly places along with the underlying key societal factors that shape this community.
