"Egg moon" is the traditional and symbolic name given by European people to the full moon of April. This full moon symbolizes fertility, rebirth, and renewal, as it coincides with birds and other animals laying eggs during springtime. The moon has long been associated with goddesses of fertility and feminine energy in various cultures such as Selene (Greek), Chandra (Hindu), or Isis (Egyptian). These waxing and wining phases make the moon a symbol of duality—both creation and destruction, life and death.
The egg also holds a significant place in myths and traditions across many cultures, symbolizing creation, fertility, life, and rebirth. It represents the universe's origins, the potential for life, and the cycle of existence.
For Carl Gustav Jung the moon and the egg are connected to human experience and psychological development, the stages of life and the process of becoming. Transformation is not linear but a cyclical journey of growth and renewal.
There’s a specific moment when the moon takes on an egg shape—right before or after a full moon—and that’s the time when the moon and the egg are completely bonded. It marks the union of the two symbols and their meanings. Following this idea, this project was born during a moment of destruction and rebirth in my life. The mission is to publish one text a month, when the waxing moon is egg-shaped. One text, once a month, written by one of my friends, about their research, work, passions, or obsessions—art, fashion, poetry, archaeology, music, nature, humans, life—anything, anyway.
No archive, no traces of the past: when the new egg moon arrives, the old text disappears, creating a void for the new one, following the cycle of creation and destruction.
These texts are - for me - moon eggs.
