Artist’s note: The meaning of the word ceremony is: "a formal religious or public occasion, typically one celebrating a particular event or anniversary."And so this for me represents a ceremony celebrating the fragility of life : The egg is breaking open, and life is inside which has the potential for more life within. As in the gold egg in the inner compartment."

Wood turning is more often than not just where the process begins.
