Story of the Rabbit

Illustrated bunny sitting on a waning crescent moon made of four-leaf clovers. It has headphones over its shoulders, rings on its toes, a pierced septum and ear piercings featuring a game controller charm.

At Positive Space, therapy is rooted in community, not conformity.

When we went through our rebrand, we wanted a way to represent the diversity of our community of clients and therapists.

To create the Forest Friends, each of our team members worked with illustrator King Freddie to provide input on their design. We are so excited to share these illustrations with you, and most of all, we hope you see glimpses of yourself in them.

In this blog post, Edith shares more of the Rabbit's story and the symbols they wanted included in the illustration:

I've always been very fond of rabbits, largely due to their significance in Asian mythology and their affinity to the moon. The rabbit is strongly associated with hard work and care for others, both values that are important in cultivating community.

I like the idea of my rabbit being a reminder that caring for yourself is just as important as caring for your community.

Engaging in the things that fulfill you (music, hunting for 4-leaf clovers) and nurturing self-expression (piercings, jewellery) is a great way to care for yourself!
