egg yolk

In Egg yolk series, I wanted to play with figures, textures, and shapes freely in a way that I could sort of mislead the viewer’s perception. I used my still-life photographer reflexes with food photography. This “Egg Yolk” series of mine is a result of this.
Egg yolk as an organic object is vibrant with its color. Normally the viewer expects the egg yolk to be in related places. In the series I played with this perception. I placed egg yolks as my main subject in unexpected areas.
