I was personally inspired by the painting entitled Sunrise by the Ocean created by Vladimir Kush. This surrealist painting features a sea scape with the sun setting directly between two shells of a cracked egg. The painting's air of whimsy creates a sense of humour within, yet still speaks to the many meanings of which an egg can symbolize. As odd as it sounds, an egg can be quite elegant due to its simple curvilinear shape. This is why I felt as though an egg shape would be suited for sculpture as it is both simple and yet beautiful. However in order to push the concept even further, I want to have the egg be cracked and have the yolk represented as a sphere between the two halves.
