Survivor 17

This sculptural rabbit, carved with a toy-like clarity yet weighted by the grain of its wood, turns the familiar figure of innocence into a vessel for language and design. Planar facets and striped incisions cadence the form like stitched seams, while the bold fields of pink and white behave as graphic “skins” that both decorate and conceal the body beneath. The fusion of hand-hewn texture with billboard typography creates a tender friction between craft and commodity, suggesting how identity is packaged, branded, and still stubbornly alive in the material. In its low, resting posture, the creature feels simultaneously sheltered and advertised—an emblem of softness caught inside the hard edges of modern sign-making.
