Hare Sugar
A screenprint on cardstock featuring Beuys's characteristic use of symbolic imagery, presented with full margins and accompanied by an actual sugar cube — bridging the gap between art object and everyday material. True to Beuys's philosophy of "social sculpture," the inclusion of the sugar cube transforms the work into a tactile, multisensory experience that extends beyond the printed image. Housed in a cardboard box with cotton wool, the piece reflects Beuys's enduring fascination with the hare as a mythic symbol of intuition and transformation, while the sweetness of sugar evokes themes of nourishment, healing, and human connection.
