Studio Mameluca's 'One Egg – One World' at JOALI Maldives
Studio Mameluca has unveiled 'One Egg – One World', a unique installation for the Imagi-Nature Art Festival held at JOALI Maldives. This piece draws inspiration from the white tern, a seabird known for laying and caring for a single egg without constructing a traditional nest. This behavior serves as a symbol of ecological vulnerability, interconnectedness, and the responsibility towards the environment. The installation comprises an egg-shaped form crafted from woven ropes and timber, creating an intimate resting area. It further explores the studio's investigation into the material intelligence of avian species and their connection to natural resources. The festival integrates contemporary art with a focus on environmental consciousness and sustainability through large-scale installations, workshops, and immersive experiences.
