Look @ the Egg 19：Piazza San Marco 2024
Oil on Canvas,120x120cm, 2024
The egg is a nutritious food that everyone loves it for their meals. Culturally, it has been instilled with abundant metaphors and symbols throughout centuries. In this Look @ the egg series, I take many scenes from different places showing what I see and what’s beyond my mind, combining them into the reflection of the egg yolk. In this one, I take the image from Piazza San Marco in Venice. With the manipulation of the yolk color to form a surreal state of mind.

Oil on Canvas,90x90cm, 2024
The egg is a nutritious food that everyone loves it for their meals. Culturally, it has been instilled with abundant metaphors and symbols throughout centuries. In this Look @ the egg series, I take many scenes from different places showing what I see and what’s beyond my mind, combining them into the reflection of the egg yolk. In this one, I take the image of a small valley Venice. I also tweak the yolk color to make it resemble an apple core. If we look at the world in different view, you will explore a new territory.
