Falling-Failing-Getting up
Falling hurts — and it can leave marks.
But does falling always mean failing?
This series explores different facets of that question.
At its core are quail eggs — symbols of fragility, growth, and potential.
Each egg is broken, mended, colored, and strengthened — a reflection on resilience and transformation.
SELECTED PIECES
​RESILIENCE - Without the courage to risk falling — and to rise again — nothing new can emerge.
Tumbler dolls may be tipped over, but they never truly fall.
The same is true for the tumbler rings.

REPAIR - Things that have fallen and been repaired can be enhanced by their fall — becoming stronger than before.
Falling and failing are essential ingredients of growth and development.
