The association of an egg done from a metal cube
and glass shaped in a cube
can symbolize the will to regain unity.

Egg N° 7
70 mm / 600 gr

Coming from the earth, mineral is manufactured by man thanks to the fire.

Despite these common elements, results may be opposed:

Metal	<->	Glass
Opaque	<->	Transparent
Dark	<->	Light
Solid	<->	Fragile

These oppositions can be emphasized by forging a metal egg and by associating it to a cubic glass.

Egg	<->	Cube
Roundness	<->	Straight lines
Curved surfaces	<->	Flat surfaces
Shimmering surfaces	<->	Plain surfaces

It’s true the egg is less opposed to the cube than a sphere would, but a sphere does not reflect human imperfection. Moreover, the egg refers to the creation of the world, contrary to the sphere, which, associated to a cube, would rather symbolize its end//death : celestial Jerusalem.

That’s why these imperfections and dynamic oppositions can lead to a meditation on this egg and cube superimposed and built-in: they form a single object which suggests unity, from which they originally proceed, this unity everyone needs to recover.
