In the ancient beliefs of the country where I come from, it is always important to thank the land and respect it, because the land is the one that gives or takes away. We can live in harmony with it and it would give us things to eat and live, but if we cause damage to it, it can tremble and cause us disgrace.
In my work, I use rabbits as a symbol of fertility because of their fast reproduction capacity. They are planned to be made with the earth that the land provides, and are going to last for a short period of time, in order to return to the earth where they came from. The act of making the rabbits is going to be like a ritual of fertility to ask the land never to stop providing us; it is an offering to live together in peace and harmony.
