Artwork Overview:

This is a round, radial shell composition resembling a mandala or sacred geometry medallion. Crafted entirely from natural shells in shades of ivory, cream, and soft sand, the piece has a calm, spiritual quality. It radiates balance and purity, with every element echoing themes of repetition, flow, and the organic order found in nature.

Composition Details:

Central Focus:
• A pale sea urchin shell sits at the center like a crown jewel. Its subtle ridges and soft texture give it a delicate, almost ethereal presence.
• It’s encircled by a ring of tapered white shells (resembling small turret or auger shells), fanning outward like petals—suggesting a sunburst or flower.

Radiating Pattern:
• Surrounding the center are five repeating medallion-like motifs.
• Each contains a larger, patterned shell (such as a tiger snail or turreted conch), flanked by smaller white shells and symmetrical accents.
• Between these are scallop shells placed in almond-shaped arrangements, creating a soft rhythm around the circle.

Outer Ring:
• The perimeter is carefully bordered with tiny white oblong shells, interspersed with soft tan spiral shells—giving the piece both structure and a subtle sense of motion.
• The background is a smooth, matte, pale surface which allows the shells’ natural tones to stand out crisply.

Artistic Interpretation:

This work evokes themes of purity, order, and tranquility. The radial design and repetition create a meditative visual rhythm, almost like a mandala one might use for contemplation or healing. It feels ceremonial, like an offering to the sea. See less
