Cosmic Egg

August 2023

Within the Cosmic Egg lies the entirety of existence, a sacred vessel where every number from one to nine is cradled within the all-encompassing zero. This symbolic form speaks to the unity of all things—before separation, before division, everything was once whole, contained in a single point of origin. The Cosmic Egg is an ancient myth found across many cultures, a primal symbol of creation, potential, and the birth of the universe itself.

While I often channel my paintings intuitively, this piece emerged from a deep fascination with the Cosmic Egg as a universal archetype. I first encountered this symbol in The Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects by Barbara G. Walker, where it was described as a myth found across many cultures. From the Orphic Egg of Greek tradition to the world-egg in Hindu and Egyptian cosmology, this ancient motif has long been associated with creation, potential, and the birth of existence itself. This work seeks to capture this universal energy—a moment of totality, where all that was and all that will be remains suspended in a state of infinite potential.
