A Turban shell takes center stage in this atmospheric composition, its spiraling form catching light against a darker sedimentary rock backdrop. The shell's pearlescent surface creates a luminous focal point, while its attendant shadows cast dramatic abstract forms into the void below. Horizontal bands of color frame the composition, suggesting a table edge while creating a modernist geometric counterpoint to the organic forms. The artist's handling of light and shadow transforms these humble specimens into actors in a quiet drama of form and void.
