A curation by Michael Murray, Owner and art consultant at Michael Murray Art - Shell Stories is a curated collection that contemplates the egg as a universal symbol of origin, fragility, and transformation. Across cultures and eras, the egg has embodied creation, renewal, and the tension between vulnerability and potential. This collection gathers works that explore the form’s simplicity and its profound metaphorical power - from representations of birth and rebirth to meditations on protection, containment, and the cycles of life. Through sculpture, painting, photography, the featured artists reimagine the egg as both object and idea - delicate yet resilient, ordinary yet sacred. Together, the works reveal how this elemental shape continues to inspire questions about beginnings, continuity, and the fragile balance of existence. Shell Stories invites viewers to look beyond the familiar, finding beauty and meaning in one of nature’s most perfect and enigmatic forms.
