HOW TO BOIL AN EGG
2016 / KALASHNIKOVV GALLERY / JOHANNESBURG
The egg is […] the symbol of alchemy, the trinity of life; the intention, the idea, and the manifestation. We are changed by our shells as much as we are changed by our substance. We contain multitudes. No aspect stands alone. Scrambled, fried, poached or raw, we cannot escape the essence of human experience – to be found and cracked open by forces outside and inside us. That is how the Universe expands, by adding and subtracting, by building upon what already exists, so that the sum is more than its parts, and the whole consumes the fragments.
