It carries the profound ability to give life, shape new worlds, and nurture them with care and resilience. The egg, an ancient symbol of fertility, represents the embryonic potential from which life emerges, while its connection to the breast signifies not only life-giving sustenance but also the enduring strength of the maternal force in nurturing and protection. Together, these symbols reflect the sacred cycle of birth, growth, sustenance, and renewal. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
