One typical summer day less than two years ago, I found a marble and a coiled copper wire. And then I started playing with them in my garden (in the old house).

Entitled “Goose Eggs,” this series of photos symbolized how people put value in their lives. I gave it such a title because goose eggs in the story “Jack & the Beanstalk” were highly prized, much like our lives and everything we do.

To view this series, believe that you are the marble. The copper wire is up for different interpretations.

(This rather serious piece reminds me of rigidity and scholarly order. Feels like looking into a philosophy professor’s eyes!)

(the photo above is my favorite from the set — the marble showed a spectrum of colors when the sun’s light reflected on its surface)

(yes, this is just a marble and the copper wire. It’s purposely blurry to give it that reflective, moon-like feel. For this photo I wanted it to look introspective and uncertain.)

(Sometimes we see ourselves in other people, much like the photo above, where I can see my own reflection. This symbolizes how sometimes our lives interlock when we share our humanity with everyone else.)

(Support systems are highly important in anyone’s life. Without them, it would be hard to pick ourselves up from the ground)
