The painting is built around an animal figure that oscillates between hare and bird. Its posture suggests total alertness, while the yellow form beneath it reads as support, pelvis, and exposed ground. The work holds together two different histories of looking: Dürer’s Young Hare, where observation fixes the animal with almost scientific precision, and the duck-rabbit, where recognition shifts under the act of seeing. Daniel Richter’s poem for the work sharpens this instability, placing the hare on a “pubic savanna” and giving it “Modigliani eyes”.
