LIMITED EDITION, 1 OF 10 PIECES

I believe that for many years, women have been perceived or conditioned to be perfect—a kind of spherical perfection, bounded by a centrifugal force, symmetrical and self-contained. I see a woman like an egg: not flattened, it transcends its poles. Like a shell with a very strong structure and points of utter fragility.

I try to convey the feeling that an eggshell evokes in me. I use porcelain, a material with very particular qualities: traditionally white, compact, fragile, hard, translucent, and resonant. I am fascinated by the egg and all its connotations: its shape, its whitish and matte texture, its thinness, its hardness and fragility, the idea of beginnings, the containment of the unborn, and its ovoid form. Even from a mechanical standpoint, the strength of its poles and the fragility of its sides.
