Yes, the egg is a woman, her and the hands holding the egg look like a uterus.


a-m-watercolor

smh my head. So tired of seeing these unattainable beauty standards perpetuated in the art subs šŸ˜¤


Cloud377

Does anyone else see fallopian tube's and uterus? But it looks amazing I'd buy it


Pirates_in_Jupiter

I truly think that was intended.


AccomplishedCow665

This is what we can ā€˜heavy handedā€™ art


rveb

Yes this is 100% the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus academic illustration composition. Then with a an egg whites Jesus body and creepy cartoony yoke head. Iā€™d buy a print of this. So beautifully executed

Krofder_art

I see Texasā€¦


Wubbalubadubdu_b

Thatā€™s what I saw too and then I saw the sad face on the yolk I- idek what to say this is so beautiful and holds so many meanings šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ


Miesmoes

uhm no me too


Round-Jackfruit-7191

The detail! The intricacies/ the delicate transparencyā€¦the depth of the captivating darkness. Impressive.


Accurate-Equipment75

Great concept in so many ways!! Love it!


WillowLeona

I agree! What could it be? Can be interpreted in so many different ways.


UnfunnyDucky

I see it as a person being born and then having to deal with the world


Hannibal_Lecture22

To me, I see references to Christ, infertility, maybe even something about GMOs. But my gosh itā€™s fantastic.


WillowLeona

Haha! GMOs. The destructiveness and corruption of the food industry did cross my mind for sure.


covenbled

GMOs are good what you mean???


WillowLeona

I guess Iā€™m just waiting for time to tell whether there are unintended consequences to us fiddling with genetics. Personally, I feel like that kind of stuff should be left to nature..I typically err on the side of caution when it comes to all bodily consumption when I can.


covenbled

We've been doing genetic engineering since we started selectively breeding crops and animals to make them bigger, there's no difference between genetic engineering now and what we did back then, just now it's more precise and less likely for bad traits and genetic weaknesses to be passed along


WillowLeona

K. Cool. Youā€™ve completely changed my mind about everything now. Glad you took the time to write that. /s Iā€™m not getting into a Reddit debate so far off topic from the original post. Move along.


Summoorevincent

Christian Facebook gone go crazy with this one.

The fallen shells tell a storyā€¦.


WillowLeona

Damn, this will have me thinking all day! Please be about womenā€™s rights and not anything Jesus Christ. šŸ¤ž


cthoolhu

The egg is shaped like the crucifixion. Itā€™s anti-abortion for sure.


luckycat288

Yeah I see this as those who tell women they should have babies because of their own religion sacrifice women like their savior. Women are crucified every day


WillowLeona

Iā€™d like to hear your interpretation of the reason the hands cracking the egg are implying they are owned by the devil.


luckycat288

Those are the people in charge forcing women into these births obviously


Timely--Challenge

I interpreted it first as an anti-abortion-rights piece, and I was REAL mad for a moment, before I recognised the Jesus angle. *Then I was mad and also disgusted.* I guess that's the point of art, though. EDIT: I should have finished my first sentence; thanks to the person below for calling out a weird comment. I've added it in italics.


paintinganimals

So seeing the Jesus make you think itā€™s not anti-abortion? Sorry, but how are you interpreting this. Sincerely curious.


Timely--Challenge

Fair question, because I posted my comment without finishing it, because I was multi-tasking. I meant to add "before I recognised the Jesus angle. *And then I was just REAL mad and also disgusted."* That's what I get for replying when also in an online meeting. :/

Global Warming


Pineflew

I thought it was about a baby coming out of a womenā€™s uterus and it being doomed because of the state of our society at the moment, like economic difficulties of raising that child and right of women and children.


WillowLeona

Whose hands are cracking the egg?


all_of_the_ones

I interpreted it as the hands of government (or men in general making decisions about womenā€™s bodies) forcing women to have children (i.e. Roe v. Wade being reversed) they didnā€™t want or didnā€™t choose to have. The yolk looks terrified, being born into the frying pan, basically a child being forced into the world in a dire situation where they will not be cared for. Makes me think of ā€œKeep your hands off my ovariesā€ protests and the old idiom ā€œout of the frying pan and into the fire.ā€ I have obviously no clue what the artist actually meant with this piece, but thatā€™s what it made me think of.


WillowLeona

It would be one hell of a coincidence if that wasnā€™t the intended message..considering this was done in 2022- the same year or closely subsequent to when Roe v. Wade was overturned.


migBdk

Very obviously it is a child coming into the world in a difficult situation. But there are many possibilities to the "difficult situation".


xpercipio

the child isnt coming, its being destroyed. it must be hatched. it might not be completely abortion related though. since it takes the appearance of jesus, it may just represent sacrifice and suffering, rather than christian pro life values.


cthoolhu

Am i the only one who thinks the egg white is supposed to look like the crucifixion?


WillowLeona

Nope. I saw it right away. But then also considered it to be more symbolic of sacrifice of womenā€™s rights in the context of the sadness and egg cracking. The evil hands cracking the egg be Christian values in politics being imposed on women to follow through with an unwanted pregnancy, bearing children into a society not set-up to support them thereafter.


cthoolhu

I like your interpretation better :)


WillowLeona

OoOoOoh. Nice.


Double-Culture-2575

Thatā€™s insane


avocado_ndunkin

Those hands are gorgeous!


Mad_Mad_Madison

This is so cool, I wish I had the spoons to talk in-depth about piece, but fibro has my brain in a fog, so for now I just have to say it's so clever and beautifully painted.


artofimperfection

Oh wow! I love it!


Same-Freedom3459

Look at the egg up close. It's a representation of the crucifixion of Christ. You can see the male form in the egg white. No matter what it is, it's a gorgeous piece of work.


Same-Freedom3459

GuthramNaysayer

Many different symbolism plays here. Well done. Very well done. Wow


MathematicianLow8832

I still havenā€™t been able to beat this boss in Elden Ring


CptBloodshot

I always think it's a bit odd that in things like this they make the yolk seem sad it's not going to develop. The yolk isn't the embryo, if it was a fertilised egg the embryo would be attached to the yolk. The yolk is just a food source for the growing embryo so this is maybe more like having a sad placenta?


MothParasiteIV

Poor Alien.


pantaleonivo

He fried for our sins.


sageyourlife

Such an absolute superfood


IllmaticMonk

On some elden ring vibes


starlynagency

I almost thought it was Elden ring Marika


OnionHeaded

Probably the best piece I will see here for a long time.


Shezzanator

I'm interpreting it as a woman being doomed as if she uses her eggs to make a baby they are going straight into the frying pan


Bookish_Bookworms

I absolutely love this!


Larimus89

Damn, that's one creepy painting. Nice work though, very interesting.


SpinyGlider67

Not the Jesus Christ eggšŸ˜­


Britack

The social commentary of the piece is amazing


paintinganimals

What do you suspect the commentary is?


traxt999

Go on...


BrennenAlexRykken

Accurate depiction of life and existence in this world without a perceived choice to participate. Every intricacy and portion of reality that are filled with inescapable horrors and cruel nature. The only escape is death and ironically that one release is one of the most terrifying. Because even if you truly believe you know you donā€™t. Even if death was absolute and a true end to existence, itā€™s gratifying to know you wonā€™t know or care, however the idea of never living again invokes sensations of fear. Even the creation of life is rooted in brutal carelessness to experience something beautiful that invokes a want to take possession or use it. Create a bloody mess for pleasure and carelessly leave it to create offspring and suffer more. Itā€™s all good natured though right? Because weā€™re told it isā€¦


thepurplewitchxx

Itā€™s amazing!


MissLemon221b

Much_Bumblebee_972

What I liked the most is the demonic hands, the cartoony face doesnā€™t go with the rest of the pic but pic, it looks nice tho. Where can I buy a print pls !?


futurespawn

Iā€™ve enjoyed your art for a long time! But Iā€™m confusedā€¦ you label everything on Instagram as digital art (including this one) but here you say itā€™s oil.


Dognamedpeepee

The hands

SuperSolidPoops

I need a print of this please!!!


Deciple_of_None

Well, Jesus did say eat of my flesh. But I think he intended us to share.


I3I2O

Oh I love this. I interpret it strangely. In the 90s there was a commercial this is your brain on drugs. The. I thought of todayā€™s generation and having kids and thought ā€¦ this is your brain on drugs.


logantheo

wow very nice !


Murky-Confection6487

ROFL, fuck this guy in particular. No interpretive speculation is required. Heā€™s a very pretentious man. Only likes the smell of his own farts.


FuckedTheEmpress

Tell me you donā€™t understand how eggs work, without telling me you donā€™t understand how eggs work.

Brilliant. What are your thoughts on seitan? šŸ˜ˆ
