Alice in Wonderland 

Here is a scene from Alice in Wonderland, an illustration made by Mary Blair. Note the recurrence of the rabbit motif, not only in the figure of the White Rabbit, but also subtly inscribed over the door of the seemingly innocuous house, a double loop suggesting infinity. This symbol has echoed through time, from ancient fertility cults to its appropriation in secular heraldry. Consider its manifestation across eras: from a symbol of fecundity in ancient rites, to its current association with fleeting moments of time, reminding us that symbols are never fixed, but fluid carriers of meaning. Like dreams, this image engages our subconscious on a primordial level. We feel the unease and the curiosity of Alice, drawn to the seemingly safe portal. This deceptively idyllic scene, charged with the symbol of the rabbit, reminds us how images resurface across history, continually reshaped by the collective psyche.
