This egg-shaped sculpture is formed of 48 semicircular vertical cardboard modules, and covered irregularly with a number of flowers, made from thin coated paper that has been crushed and ironed before processing. The egg, commonly perceived as a universal symbol of life and resurrection, stands metaphorically for a personal and universal rebirth after a period of struggle. The flowers echo the hidden symbols and meanings of historical flower still lifes in Dutch painting.
