Notes

In this regard, hares also remind us of our own mortality - and while observing hares you too may feel how the philosopher awakens in you. As you are confronted with artworks in here - and the escape route that they represent, life's big questions may knock on your door. Questions such as 'Who are we?' 'Why are we here?' and 'Little hare, why is your tail so short?' I want to ask you not to shun these questions, but to look deeply into the eyes of the hares that are shown here and to trust that the answers are to be found.

Hares are pointers to a kinder world. The choice to avoid confrontation is to tread lightly, without too much concern about earthly things, unless you can eat them. To choose taking flight is to let go, to be free.
