Superegg

Superegg represents the rapid multiplying of single use coffee capsules, which symbolises human convenience and its impact on the environment.

The visceral experience engages the viewer from all angles and distances. Over 3000 capsules were collected via a call to action on social media and the local community.

The sculptures guide, groom, purify, and strengthen the positive "chi" of a space, focusing on pleasant and peaceful outcomes. With a subtle shift in their environment, the public is guided towards a balance between their inner and external realities.

On the floor are inlaid the floor-lamps, which add radiance with the lights inside the Blings at night, showing a scene of brilliant and sparkling stars.
