Egg Roll explores visual misdirection through the merging of two familiar forms. What initially reads as an egg being cracked from its shell is revealed, upon closer inspection, to be a dinner roll. The fractured edge mimics the delicacy of an eggshell, while the interior maintains the soft, bread-like texture of baked dough.
By collapsing food imagery and linguistic association into a single object, the painting engages with perception, expectation, and the humor embedded in everyday language. Egg Roll invites the viewer to slow down and reconsider what they think they are seeing, using a simple visual pun to blur the line between the literal and the imagined.
