The series “Eggsploration” explores and broadens the idea of fertility beyond mere reproduction, asking, “What is the fertile Self?” and “How is the fertile Self?” In a witty, practical, humble and magical way, it delves into the meaning of fertility, offering a set of tools and protective spaces that provide transition to an attuned, fertile state within oneself. The work is shaped out of symbolic daily materials (found objects) such as eggshells, egg packaging, ladles, bed sheets, and soil, combined with more precious materials such as porcelain powder, leather and metals. 
Through exploring fertility, it questions the concepts of life, legacy and mortality. The series delves into the soothing idea that we never truly varnish, highlighting our interconnectedness through our bodies turning into one common entity. Are bodies essential to existence? 
Are we floating consciousness? Where do we go? Where our dreams go?
 The theme touches upon current socio-economic-political imposing demands, seeks to transcend pre-set pressures and personal or ancestral fears that might come knocking in different shapes or forms. It draws from diverse philosophies, shamanic practices, mythologies, and psychologies, each offering unique perspectives on the nature of being.
