The Wandering Albatross Egg is one of Leila Jeffrey’s new works and part of her series Stillness that focuses on the profound beauty and symbolism of birds’ eggs.⁣⁣

In her own words “...eggs embody the possibilities of birth, rebirth, and transformation, symbolising both potential and optimism. On the other hand, they are also delicate and perilously vulnerable, highlighting the fragility of life...

Especially this whitish Wandering Albatross Egg has captured her fully. Leila: “Its shape feels prehistoric, its textures and markings are exquisitely unique, and its size is striking and then to think that within this shell lies the genetic lineage of its species, carrying the inherited traits and adaptations passed down through countless generations of its family”.

[The Wandering Albatross birds spend most of their lives in the air, coming ashore in the southern summer to breed near the Arctic Circle. Their wingspan can extend over 3 meters (11 feet)! They mate for life and have just 1 egg in a season. Recent studies have indicated that these birds have individual distinctive traits that make some individuals more successful in surviving than others.
