Rabbits are lunar creatures and share symbolism with the Moon.
The Moon: the rhythm of cyclic time; the birth, death and resurrection phases of the Moon symbolize immortality and eternity; renewal; enlightenment; the spiritual aspect of light in darkness; inner knowledge.
Hmmm and we just had a full moon last night(Jan. 19, 20011)

Very nice. I love the reduction of this to more simpler shapes bordering close to the abstract.

Yes, I noticed that I seem to be simplifying shapes. We shall see how far it goes.
Thank you!

Incredible. I love the incorporation of the crescent and circle into the rabbit for a subtle focal point. The sweeping ears are beautiful as well.
