“Tuzinia” was partially inspired from my daily life with my three pet rabbits.

However, stereotypes and common tropes as simple as these influence our thinking and our ability to conceive of the multiplicity and diversity that actually exists in real life. In “Tuzinia”, I set out to depict a multicultural land of rabbits, modeled on real-life geopolitics, group differences, and standards of physical beauty, and thus also functioning as commentary.
