DescriptionFrom a series of 5 prints entitled After Fabergé, which transform an iconic symbol of status and wealth into SciFi quasi-objects composed of modern furniture, computer parts, human anatomy, and historic architecture. Set on stark white backgrounds and rendered with hyper-detailed glossy surfaces, the eggs evoke a commercial product yet their function is eerily ambiguous.
