It came to my observation, through conversations with people, that many feel stuck in situations because they had no choice - I find it strange because it seems to me that they had made a series of decisions to arrive at their current circumstances. I thought if only they realize they have made their choices, they will be in place.
I was looking at the form for the abstract figure in Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus; and drawing a parallel between the form of the hand holding an egg and the thinker. The egg seemed to me to symbolize the potential of thought.
