Amplified is a hand-cracked music box which resonates sound from within, amplifying the tiny potential of the music box locked away in its interior – just as an egg serves to propagate the tiny potential of another generation.
Amplified is sold for £5,400. Thank you for the support! :D

I want to thank Paul Booth, Boyd Costen, Yuwen Lu, Pochih Lai, Joey Scully, Piloti who offered big help during the development of the egg ’ Amplified’. Also thanks to Lucy Franks for giving me the great opportunity and answering my questions. Without your help, ‘Amplified’ wouldn’t be hatched ;).

Testing the sound and the mechanism. 

Handed the egg in. It is sitting with other decorated friends and relations…I started to miss it already. :(

Filled the gap, sealing it with a leather stripe and fixing brass rings around the egg - definitely hard work!

The most difficult part of the process- sealing the two halves back!
