About this piece
A close, frame-filling arrangement of seashells sets vivid orange, turquoise, amber, and pearly white against coarse sand. Bright light reveals ridges, polished curves, and irregular surfaces, while a large striped shell anchors the composition beside the radiating ribs of an orange fan shell.
The story
On this October day, the shells hold a brightness that seems independent of the calendar. Sand gathers beneath their lips and between their ridges, its granular texture answering the smooth sheen of their interiors. An orange fan opens across one corner, while blue-green spirals and amber bands draw the eye through the crowded frame. Everything rests, yet each curve suggests a different way of turning.
