The transformation of energy into animate matter seems to occur generally within a container of some sort, a membrane, a pouch, a seed, or a shell. An egg is arguably the most pristine archetypal form among all receptacles within which life is engendered. Created at the inception of life, this completely sealed form vibrates with a latency manifest in its aura of impeccable silence.

Even when an egg is broken and deserted by the life it once hosted, its inner depths seem to continue to ring with the memory of the transformative miracle, which took place within.Looking inside an eggshell is a quasi - mystical experience where past, present, and future collapse into a single eternal state, in this timeless space. An eggshell is both the oldest, and the newest receptacle imaginable, it never ceases to inspire subliminal awe. Its inner walls seem to whisper the story not only of the inception of the life that burst forth from it, but also of its itinerary and destiny.In this line of thought, I created a geography of 'eggscapes' and 'topeggraphies' to reflect upon the nature of the space within which the physical and spiritual wanderings of animate beings occur, from inception to dissolution. The intersection of jagged rims and curvilinear silhouettes is also suggestive of a kind of cursive writing, relating the epic journey of existence. The use of colors is limited to white, blue, brown and gold, which respectively symbolize the primal, air and water, the earth, and divine light.nermin kura, 2007
