Inspired by the iconic "Got Milk?" campaign of the 1990s, "Got Eggs?" is a colorful still life that delves into themes of scarcity and its impact on social behavior. The artwork features a collection of vibrant egg cups, each uniquely shaped and tinted in soft hues of blue, orange, and green. At the center, a perfectly cooked egg with its golden yolk gently spilling over raises questions about abundance for some, coupled with a fear of missing out. A salt cup and spoon suggest ritual, while the angle of the spoon, poised as if to serve, evokes a sense of separation between those who have and those who lack. The empty cups amplify feelings of longing and competition. This piece encourages viewers to reflect on how advertising and social media can create an atmosphere of fear and scarcity, altering our understanding of community and connection.
