These efforts are part of GEG’s unwavering commitment to supporting the diversified development of arts and culture, sports, and tourism in Macau. He said, “Eggspression exhibition is another demonstration to our vision and intention. Eggs are a common food across diverse cultures and serve as an emotional bond connecting us with the world.

Bringing the large-scale egg art installations to Macau for the first time, Mr. Henk and Ms. Vivian both expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the organizer, Galaxy Entertainment Group for inviting them to participate Eggspression Exhibition. Mr. Henk talked about his creative concept of the works in this exhibition, “All my projects have something to do with how we see things, what is happening, where we come from, what we do and what we do with our planet.” The fried egg is one of his egg projects meanings, which he has great hopes of appealing to everyone to concentrate on the current situation of global warming.

“Eggs Fall from the Sky” First Debuts in Macau
The first part of the exhibition features “Eggs Fall from the Sky”, a masterpiece by Henk Hofstra, marking its first appearance in Macau and its first large-scale indoor display globally. The enormous “sunny egg” installation is not only visually striking but also aims to raise awareness about global warming. Resembling the sun, these installations offer visitors the warmth of sunlight at Galaxy Promenade and GalaxyArt in the season of summer. Hofstra has also created a unique egg-shaped installation called “Loving Birds” for this exhibition, adorned with heart-shaped eggs, flower petals, clouds, and trees, emphasizing the importance of life, love, wholesomeness, and positive energy.
Henk Hofstra is renowned worldwide for his passion for transforming everyday objects into captivating large-scale public art installations. His exhibitions span from Rotterdam to Saint Petersburg, New York to São Paulo, Bilbao to Lisbon, and Beijing to Wuhan. Hofstra’s creations cover different themes, including animals, plants, and landscapes. He often presents his work in novel and striking ways, encouraging people to explore the world from fresh perspectives and think about important issues.
New York Artists Recreate the Marvelous Dream of Eggs
The second part of the exhibition showcases “The Egg House”, a multi-sensory experience created by Biubiu Xu, the founder of Sense Creation Inc., along with a group of young artists and designers from New York. Vivian Cai serves as the key creative director, bringing “The Egg House” to Macau. This thematic installation exhibition has captivated audiences of all ages and attracted over 200,000 visitors when it first debuted in New York in 2018, successfully paving the way for a global tour.
“The Egg House” features Ellis, an egg whose name evokes the whimsical story of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. The artists ingeniously blend egg elements into the foyer, living room, bedroom, kitchen, and even bathroom, making every corner filled with surprises and transforming the ordinary egg into something extraordinary. In this vibrant “home”, visitors can interact with the exhibits and immerse themselves in a joyful atmosphere shared with friends and family, making it an unmissable photo spot.
