How can the same intricate design of three rabbits sharing ears appear in the Dunhuang Caves of China, a medieval English church, and Islamic art? This embroidery is more than just thread and linen; it’s a connection to a story that has traveled across centuries. It’s a story about how ideas find us, rather than us finding them. If you’re curious about this symbol’s mysterious journey and the philosophy that guides my work, I invite you to read the full story behind the stitches.
