Eggsquisite

The chicken or the egg? That’s not the question. Eggsquisite, on view at Hectare Galerie in Brussels, sidesteps the tired binary debate in favour of branching reflections where the egg becomes a symbol of form, fragility, promise and delight. The e in the o, the yolk inside the white, the softness within and the shell without — everything about the egg speaks to mystery, simplicity, and potential.

Bringing together works by Catarina Silva, Felieke van der Leest, Joohee Han, Kanano Ebisawa, Miki Asai and Xiaochuan Zhang, the exhibition explores the egg as object, symbol and material. Through contemporary jewellery, delicate fragments and organic shapes, Eggsquisite creates a playful and poetic display – somewhere between a nest and a treasure box, rupture and rebirth.

The visual identity, designed by Studio des formes, mirrors the show’s gentle tension between graphic strength and symbolic lightness. The typeface, Collapse by Keussel (published by Blaze Type), balances soft curves with structural clarity. Eggsquisite ran until 14 June 2025.
