“Unborn creatures of light” is a handmade art object using carefully emptied and hardened eggshells as vectors of light. This basic, organic matter, with only the help of light shining through it, turns into porous constellations of stars.
The idea that the universe was born from an egg is shared by nearly all ancient civilisations and cultures, and this project aims to embody this imagery. Every eggshell is unique and each one looks like a galaxy. The title of the work is also a reference to all the realms of existence and possibilities, inviting the viewers to step outside of their reality.
This model is a black circular ring composed of 59 eggshells and LED lights, and is designed to be mounted against a wall, for the viewer to be able to look straight at its details. The piece is best enjoyable in a dark or dimmed room to benefit from all its characteristics.
The process of emptying, cleaning, and hardening the eggshells is very delicate and requires a lot of time and discipline. The designer has also created handmade pieces which allow the user to manipulate the eggshells without altering the work.
Every model is a unique piece. The date stamped on the eggs references the moment the work was produced.
The product is delivered with 59 12V LED lamps. The cord is compatible with regular european 220V sockets.
