Walking on Eggshells is a short and animated piece based on a short story by Aoife Barker. It follows her experience as a 15-year-old girl working in a two Michelin star restaurant, where she is repeatedly assigned the task of peeling eggs despite having perfected the skill.

The animation highlights the repetitive nature of her labour and the quiet endurance it demands. Throughout the piece, the voice of her father echoes in her mind, reinforcing feelings of inadequacy and exclusion. The work reflects on gender, power, and the psychological impact of being persistently underestimated.
