Amin's egg series is from one of his more recent bodies of work. This series was inspired by his sister's pregnancy, and the wonder he felt at watching this process of life. The artist also understood the inadequacy of his own male body and felt a frustration that he could not produce children within his own body. He worked out these conflicting emotions in this series of work. The shape of the egg serves as a symbol of female power, and its bulging, fertile shape seemed to suggest the expanding of the female body to the artist.

Amin has introduced Arabic calligraphy into some of these compositions, displaying his belief that all life is a creation of God.
