This requires the utmost patience and precision because even after he has added these, the egg must dry for a further two weeks before being painted and broken; forming a totally unique and natural artwork. Offset by his own hand-made figures and miniature structures made from thin, laser-cut wood and bronze casts, the entire exquisite composition is finally mounted on a marble and resin Corian base, ready for display. However, the most beautiful aspect of this artwork is arguably the message behind it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist noted that while the pandemic was undoubtedly a hard time for us all, he wants to remind us of the beauty that has emerged. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I have been given time to embrace the fact that I am not as invincible as I thought. There have been days when I’ve really struggled, and I still do but, I am fragile as are we all. I spoke to friends and family and we all talked in a way we never had done before about how hard we were finding some days; we were sharing our own fragility and weaknesses. People have really started to talk about their mental health and the stigma attached with mental issues is finally fading.
