“Kelp” was inspired by the quiet movement of underwater forests. Not the dramatic side of the ocean, but the softer one — the slow dance beneath the surface, where everything bends, adapts, and flows together.
While creating this piece, I wanted the shells to feel alive, almost as if they were moving with the tide. The curved forms travel across the surface like strands of kelp carried by water, crossing and reconnecting in an endless rhythm.
The Coquina shells drew me in because of their delicate scale and natural tonal variations. Up close, every shell feels imperfect and individual, but together they create harmony and structure. That balance between individuality and connection is something that deeply reflects the way I see nature and life itself.
“Kelp” is about flow, resilience, and softness without fragility. It invites a slower gaze — the kind that notices texture, movement, and the quiet beauty hidden in repetition
