Omega
“Omega” 2019
Multiple raw eggs, heat and epoxy resin
5" × 5" × 5"
Omega is a series made with broken, raw eggs and epoxy resin. This piece excavates the sensory experience of chronic pain from being trapped and restrained. The buoyancy in the liquid pushes the eggshell up, and the content in the raw egg comes out to resist the resin that is curing around it. The heat released by the process of curing epoxy resin cooks the egg inside the cube. Ultimately, everything in that cube has achieved a state of balance between these two opposing forces or influences. It leaves an unfinished and broken quality to the object which can be read as a manifestation of violence or consequence of disorder.
