This piece is about women trying to conceive. It is the same size as a head because trying to conceive is all-consuming. The huge, free-range egg is a heavy metaphor, but it represents the attempt to block out the real fear that so many women have of becoming too old and passing their own alleged 'best before' date. The distraction doesn't work of course. The reminder is stamped on the shell.
