Watch a Chainsaw Artist Carve an Epic Artwork From a Log - “Survival” Fox & Rabbit Chase Sculpture

Chainsaw and power tool carved log sculpture by Michelle Thevenot in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Survival... a defining moment for both the fox and the rabbit. The fox must eat and the rabbit must flee, both in the name of survival. The hunter and hunted are momentarily balanced and equal in the pursuit of life.
Which are you in this moment, the fox or the rabbit? What does that mean to you?
I think we can relate to both at different points in life. Aren’t we all running towards something? We might relate to pursuing a goal with fervor, or at other times just simply trying to get ahead in life. Whether it be running after dreams, or running for cover, both are necessary at different times. It’s normal and balanced to experience these energies throughout life’s cycle. It’s in our nature to become either; our instinctual behavior is as such for our own survival.
Here, in the pursuit of survival, potential is poised within both.
