This (unfertilized) baby chicken
egg wishes to be something far greater: a wise owl. It seeks higher knowledge
and admires the intellect of the majestic bird. Since his birth has already
predefined him as a flightless chicken—who will ultimately be consumed by a
human one day—he has decided to dress himself up as his dream self until his
unfortunate fate.
I painted the egg a gray because
that color commonly represents maturity and wisdom (though boring and
depressing in other senses). As humans grow older, and hopefully wiser, their
gray hair is associated with intelligence. I had water color paints and some
feathers in my home already, though I did have to buy the googly eyes.
