Evil Bunny Rabbits Are Tempting Me With Their Fluffy Fur
“The fox is dreaming about his existence. He has front legs of a rabbit and not those of a fox because he feels sympathy for the rabbits that he eats and tries to relate to them (evoking the proverb: “to be in someone else’s shoes”). When you look at his eyes, you can see that one of the eyes looks sad and the other look vicious, as if he would have bipolar disorder. So you can see in his eyes the yin/yang that’s in every creature. The forest that surrounds the fox shows the life cycle of the rabbit.”

“All of my cuttings are cut out of a single sheet of paper. That means that the remaining design is still one piece of paper. The only instrument that I am using is a pair of small scissors.” Lucrezia Bieler
