I made this sculpture thinking about the kind of man I want to meet. I had inspiration from Salvador Dali's painting "Geopoliticus Child watching the Birth of the New Man". You see and read more about the painting on another website.
I made the sculpture by throwing two identical ovate pots and joining them together. I then made the man and cut a crack in the 'egg' to have him break out. I rolled a very thin porcelain sheet for the plate it sits on and used an upturned bowl as the pedestal.
