Like limestone, granite, or clay, eggshell seems wrought in Earth’s tones and minerals, its soft tinctures nourished by air and moisture. A patina of miniscule craters – a constant-curving marvel – encasing, nurturing, cradling life to come. Anda (meaning egg in Sanskrit) echoes the eggshell’s smooth, opaque carapace in the purity of its hues and enigmatic depths – reflecting the strength and fragile alchemy of Nature’s tender guardian.
