An Egg and a Felt Eclipse

A surreal yet entirely physical still-life photograph of one smooth white egg balanced in a shallow depression in a thick circular black felt pad. A large coral felt crescent leans against the pad behind it, framing the egg like a miniature eclipse without covering it. The arrangement rests on a cool pale blue table, seen from a low frontal angle. Raking light gives the egg a delicate bright rim and exposes densely tangled felt fibers; broad short shadows firmly ground each object. Graphic sculptural elegance, three objects only, no floating parts, no drawn lines or text.
