A curation by Raffaella Nobili, Owner and curator at Paraventi Giapponesi - The cosmic egg is one of humanity's oldest and most enduring images: an archetype of origin and rebirth, a boundary between the unity and multiplicity of the world. Within it, principle and transformation coexist, non-being opening to being. In the Brera Altarpiece, Piero della Francesca suspended the egg at the center of the shell as an emblem of cosmic harmony and spiritual fecundity. In Metamorphosis of Narcissus and Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man, Salvador Dalí transformed it into an alchemical symbol of the world's birth, disintegration, and rebirth. In Leonora Carrington's The Giantess (La Dame Ovale), the egg becomes a visionary womb, a laboratory where dream and myth merge, a uterine space where the cosmos takes shape. In the 12th century, Hildegard von Bingen described the cosmos as a luminous egg traversed by divine breath, a living universe in which matter and spirit breathe in unison. Jung, centuries later, would recognize in the same symbol the place where opposites reunite and the human being is regenerated. In this curation, I have chosen works by artists who renew the vitality of this archetype, restoring its generative force and the incessant tension between the whole and the one, between what is in stasis and what is transforming.
