The construction has a shadowbox-like depth, allowing each shell to appear suspended and giving the piece a refined, museum-quality presentation.

Inside, a carefully balanced vertical arrangement showcases eleven distinct seashells, each meticulously chosen for its shape, texture, and color. The selection includes:
• Spiny murex shells, adding texture and intricacy with their natural armor-like forms
• Scallop shells in a gradient of warm earth tones from ochre to russet, echoing a coastal sunset
• Cone or turret shells flanking the top and bottom, providing balance with their pointed, architectural forms
• Whelk or moon shells at the base, grounding the composition with their rounded, spiral weight

The background is transparent, allowing the piece to be visually light and adaptable—either hung on a wall or placed against different surfaces See less
