Description

Egg cartons, designed to protect fragile contents through repetition and enclosure, are assembled into a self-supporting arch. Stability emerges not despite vulnerability, but through its careful distribution.

Each unit performs its function precisely, yet the structure depends on cumulative tension rather than strength. Order is achieved through alignment, pressure, and mutual dependence.

At the final segment, the logic reverses. The eggs are inverted. Protection persists, but orientation fails.

What appears as a bridge is also a demonstration of limits. It is a structure held together by care, repetition, and the constant risk of collapse.
