My interpretation of;

“The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.”
– James Joyce

The design quotes Duchamp's famous phrase of using a Rembrandt as an ironing board.

Duchamp made multiple versions of L.H.O.O.Q. The masculinized female introduces the theme of gender reversal, which appealed to Duchamp, who adopted his own female pseudonym, Rrose Sélavy.

Man Ray from his biography "Selfportrait":
"Leaving the café, we passed a shop that had various household utensils spread out front. I picked up a flat-iron, the kind used on coal stoves, asked Satie to come inside with me, where, with his help, I acquired a box of tacks and a tube of glue. Back at the gallery I glued a row of tacks to the smooth surface of the iron, titled it 'The Gift', and added it to the exhibition. This was my first Dada object in France."

Among the Maya, the rabbit is considered a trickster and a manipulator, which could represent the Ladinos who constantly trick and deceive the illiterate and uneducated Maya.
