Description Many ancient cultures believed that there was a cosmic eye that gave birth to the whole world and that is why they considered the egg as a central point for the creation of life. Being a source of life, the egg became a symbol of fertility, birth and rebirth. It is interesting that an object that seems lifeless can unexpectedly come to life and have such mystical meaning. In my project the egg is the symbol of the life itself. I have used different kitchen utensils that interact with the egg in order to show the important stages in our life and our parents presence in our development. First there was an embryo protected by its mothers placenta, then, after a period of incubation, a new life appears. This new life needs parental support to develop and grow up into a fine adolescent. Reaching this stage, people tend to distance themselves from their parents and in the end they reach personal independence. Being on our own and struggling with contemporary problems transforms us into a mature person that will eventually find a partner to marry. At this stage the parents presence reappears in the shadows because our family instincts emerge and a new embryo will give life to a new baby and the world will repeat itself over and over.
