Beyond the Shell: Finding Depth in Simplicity

This painting embodies the essence of my new collection, "Inside and Out". At its heart lies a simple egg, encased in a shell embellished with gold and jewels, suspended between water and sky. Through this work, I aim to reveal a simple truth: no matter how we adorn ourselves externally, we share a fundamental essence—unadorned, yet profoundly powerful.

What purpose do riches truly serve beyond being mere trinkets in the tapestry of our existence? Unlike jewels, our authentic essence possesses the ability to generate, to nurture, and to enrich humanity through the bounty of our efforts. The backdrop, too, carries symbolic significance. The water mirrors the ceaseless flux of the material world, while the sky embodies the unwavering constancy of the spiritual domain. This painting harbors no criticism; it merely acts as a looking glass, beckoning us to behold ourselves as we truly are.
