The composition combines dynamic concentric waves with finely incised sea turtles, creating a hypnotic vortex effect that draws the viewer into a sense of movement and depth. The surface is carved by hand, then enriched with gold and silver leaf and finished with subtle oil patinas that enhance contrast and luminosity.
