brittle shells on green spikes



I don't quite get the symbolism of this cosmic yolk. (The work of conceptual artists or superstitious gardeners in Ubud, Bali.) But I cannot quite fathom why they want to pierce the hollow and show that it does not shatter. After scrutiny, I notice an infestation of tiny white --non-avian-- eggs on the big plant that may need a remedy. Or maybe this is the magical antidote to bird flu. Ideas anyone?
