Description

The egg.

Perfect geometry.

A simple, harmonious and silent surface, with so much potential inside. And promises.

The egg is a universal symbol of life.

It represents the primordial reality, it is linked to the concept of birth and life that it contains,

represents the multiplicity of beings and symbolizes the renewal of nature.

So widespread in daily nutrition, the egg is a common object in our homes so we could hardly stop to reflect on the profound symbolic meaning it carries with it and rooted in all cultures and in all eras.

It is also a symbol of the birth of the universe, a myth present in cosmogonies.

In many cultures the egg was considered sacred, almost magical because life was generated from such a "strange" object.

These legendary meanings have been passed down to us. Our popular traditions over the centuries have carried out rites linked to eggs, of which Easter ones are the most widespread and commercial example.

The egg has inspired artists and poets, an object at the center of considerations, experiences, observations:

"I'm always on the side of the egg.

The wall is a metaphor of the system and the egg represents the soul of each person enclosed in a fragile shell.

We are all fragile eggs in front of a solid part called system."

(Haruki Murakami).

"Probably one of the most mysterious things in the world is the egg, before it is broken."

(M.F.K. Fisher).

"The same boiling water that softens a potato hardens an egg.

It's all about what you're made of and not the circumstances."

(Anonymous).

"The past is a broken egg, the future is an egg to be hatched."

(Paul Eluard).
