Introduction
The pretty egg
An exploration of the egg as a metaphor for both fragility and potential, reminding us that every beginning holds within it the entirety of existence. This work reflects on cycles of life, transformation, and the quiet strength found within vulnerability.
The facial features are hand-stitched in fabric, while the outer shell is sculpted from stone clay.
