Study For Skeleton Of Myself, Birthday, 2009

This edition by Terence Koh features his frequently recurring rabbit motif, here rendered in a striking, horizontally stretched silhouette that spans the width of the composition. The minimalist presentation and stark contrast amplify the presence of the rabbit, transforming it from a mere figure into a meditative symbol. Rabbits appear often in Koh’s practice as rich, multifaceted symbols – embodying innocence, vulnerability, sexuality, mythology, and ritual – core themes that run throughout his body of work. The symbol also references one of Koh’s own aliases, Kohbunny, blurring the lines between personal mythology and artistic gesture. As in much of Koh’s work, this rabbit is not simply an animal – it is a vessel of meaning, quietly loaded with emotional and symbolic weight.
