Synopsis

In this mural, Isaac depicts a seemingly simple fable while skilfully playing and solving the composition with the structure of the building itself. Hare and fox, victim and executioner, run parallel without escaping from each other, like travel companions heading towards the same destination: a ring of fire in the dark gloom. Nature as a cruel companion, survival in a hostile environment as a crude dancing partner for both competitors. Fire and ice, life or death, light and darkness inhabit the same scene, a metaphor for life and social reality in an irremediably competitive world.
