(2025 post) Art Up Close: This photograph is by conceptual artist Kenji Nakahashi, a Japanese national who worked in New York for over 40 years. He often photographed ordinary objects in ways that invite you to think about them differently. "Avenging Mind" captures two eggs cooked sunny-side up with bits of broken shell arranged over the surface. The ultimately pointless attempt to put put cooked eggs back in the protective covering of their shells creates playful, engaging imagery.
