A unique green onyx block from Afghanistan with oxidised iron veins was chosen by the artistto conceive the most difficult to make egg. The material’s fragility and brittleness only addsvalue to the piece.
The artist carefully looked for a block that could evoke one of the saddestand most popular photo portraits of all time, Afghan Girl, a 1984 photographic portrait ofSharbat Gula also known as Sharbat Bibi, taken by photojournalist Steve McCurry.
