Handstand Hare

Through the ages, hares and rabbits have become a general motive in the visual arts. As symbols of rebirth, fertility, sensuality, vitality and sexual desire, they are usually associated with life.  But hares also tread a thin line between life and death… 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... 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.
