Eggshell mind
On my first visit to Göteborgs Konstmuseum I had the chance to see the paintings of the mexican artitsts Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
However, the piece that made the greatest impression on me was the sculpture 'Eggshell Mind' by Thomas Broomé.
At first glance, the sculpture depicts a young innocent boy sitting at a desk. With a forthright gaze, he is ready to face the world and the possibilities for knowledge that are open to him. He is as white as the paper in front of him, and his story is as unwritten as the empty paper.
'The artist works with a variety of expressions and techniques, often with an undertone of social criticism and a questioning of norms'.
