Don't know, but it'll be delicious either way.
Mmm, jesus 🍽
It's an egg going into the frying pan. You can see the yolk and egg white, and if you look near the hands there's shells.
I thought an egg was my brain, and a pan was drugs.

Little of column A, little of column B.
To me it reads as one of those anti-abortion pieces put up on banners outside a church.
Or a pro abortion stance?
Or perhaps it is both on purpose to make people fight in the comments.
How do you see it working as a pro abortion stance?
I only see it as a possible anti-. The hands look like demon hands, the yolk looks sad as it gets “sacrificed.” Also, there is only one yolk, so I don’t see it as a uterus.
Something about forced birthing and not caring about the outcomes after birth. Which is absolutely a Republican thing.
But I def think it leans more into the anti-abortion side.
As for the reproductive parts I see the shells as ovaries, the connecting white as fallopian tubes, the yolk and falling white as uterus and more below.
But hey, art is subjective.
Yes
I didn't see a uterus until you mentioned it, but now I can see it with the shells being the ovaries.
I'd still peg this as Jesus though. There seems to be an impression of muscles in the torso, thighs, and pubis.
But the overall shape and the symbolism of the egg definitely speaks womb. Maybe it's a message that eggs (gift from the womb) are a sacrifice (crucifixion) which sustains us (Jesus). Big J was into the idea that we had to eat him for our salvation. Or maybe it's a commentary that life eats life.
No you fool, it's a clearly vegan work about you eating chicken Jesus.
I'm fairly certain there's a bit of extra detail under the yolk that looks like a necklace as well.
Some life. Others just do with solar radiation or geothermal roaming
I smell a new band name: Uterus jesus fried egg.
It could be both IMO
I'm leaning a bit towards Jesus because of his story but the symbolic choices lead to other ideas as well
It's a conversation piece for sure
yes
Can I see it?
The Passion of Gudetama
Marika if she was an Albinauric.
Or possibly your brain on drugs according to PSAs from the 90's.
Praise the Goddess. And then try finger, but whole.
I know it is annoying to say but this looks so much like AI
I don't see it, doesn't have the fuckery artefacts an AI would leave.
Yeah, especially that dirt effect in the corner looks pretty weird to me for a human-made painting.
It saddens me to say, but i agree.
Ai looks like real at all makes sense
I'm not sure what about this makes you think it's AI.
You guys should look at their instagram page. It’s not AI.
Am I the only one seeing an unterus in thos picture?
I belive that is the point. My interpretation is that this a pro-life image. The tortured "egg yoke child" is being murdered.
You are not.
That stove is way too high for an egg. Breakfast really is doomed.
This can’t possibly be a reference to both the crucifixion of Jesus and female reproductive organs.
As if a conservative would know what the female anatomy looks like.
Haunting
This image kills me every time I see it.
Egg yolks don't have eyes
What is with those nails what the hell is going on with the dirty hands
Why frying pan drenched in flame? You cooking egg or bistec?
Why are you cracking eggs like that, uncle Roger won't be happy
It's a metaphor for your uterus under Christianity
You sure? It's not clear cut for the eggsperts on the comments
