Rabbit

Mask
Masks represent the personas we wear, deception (others' or our own), and the hidden self behind public appearances. Wearing a mask suggests concealing your true self. Removing a mask represents authenticity and vulnerability. A mask falling off unexpectedly indicates fear of being exposed. Others wearing masks may reflect distrust or the recognition that people aren't showing their true faces.
Rabbit
Rabbits symbolize fertility, abundance, quick thinking, and luck. The rabbit's ability to reproduce rapidly makes it a universal fertility symbol. In many cultures, the rabbit represents good fortune. A rabbit running may indicate the need for quick action or a tendency to run from problems. The 'rabbit hole' concept represents going deeper into the unknown or into obsessive thinking.
