In this photograph, the reflection of a rabbit appears unexpectedly in the mirror of a parked motorcycle on the streets of Butim Bitang. The rabbit, painted on a wall as part of an urban artwork, is captured in the mirror’s glass, transforming a static image into a vision that feels alive and fleeting. The motorcycle, a vehicle of movement and haste, contrasts with the calmness of the reflected figure, creating a composition that draws attention to the unexpected within the everyday.

The scene stirs mixed emotions – the rabbit, a symbol of delicacy and curiosity, seems to observe the urban world with an intriguing calmness. The reflection in the mirror allows the viewer to see the rabbit from a distorted perspective, as if inviting us to view the familiar from a new angle. It is a moment exuding transience, as a slight movement of the motorcycle would make the image disappear.

This contrast between the delicate reflection and the raw urban setting encourages reflection on the small beauties hidden in the city’s most unlikely corners. The photo evokes a sense of surprise and nostalgia, inviting the viewer to capture these fleeting moments of visual poetry that often go unnoticed amid the rush of daily life.
