The latest post on TheCoolHunter.Net reminded me of what I've seen around my campus, UC Davis. Although these art pieces don't have the exact shape of the egg heads around the school, it does not mean they are not egg heads. I, personally, don't look at them as egg heads because if you use your imagination, they can be whatever you want them to be, which is what the mother-daughter duo hoped their audience to do. According to Tuija Seipell, a writer from The Cool Hunter, Mischele Deiters and Bibi van der Velden created these heads to capture the light and textures that it surrounds it, as well as hoping their viewers create their own ideas of why they chose to present their pieces the way they are. The heads are shaped to appear as if they're weightless but I think its up to the viewer to decide if the organically shaped art interprets it to be hollow or solid.
