A delicate egg, poised under industrial threat, becomes an icon of absurdist tension.
This photomechanical print creates a powerful visual metaphor, juxtaposing a soft organic form with the threat of cold, mechanical precision. Centered in the composition, a single egg is gripped by a steel vice, its textured jaws closing with a sense of clinical inevitability. It is a work of deadpan, conceptual wit, its surreal, stage-lit clarity a wry commentary on the illusion of control.
