Eggs

From a decorative egg by the Russian Fabergé to that by a wild sparrow, the shape of an egg is recognizable in every culture. This conceptual portfolio of 44 ideas presents a chicken's egg as itself and as a proxy for humans in various contexts. Art, identity, time, and various social and environmental settings create a smart and enduring experience . The project was mostly completed in 2013 in Winnipeg with several more ideas added in 2017.
