In this contemplative still life, a tiny seashell is transformed through magnified observation, revealing the subtle complexities of its spiral form and textured surface. The shell's natural pattern of linear ridges - marks of its gradual growth - creates a compelling dialogue with the stark barcode in the lower left corner. Both are, in their way, records of time: one organic and flowing, the other mechanical and precise.

The shell's pearlescent whites and warm coral tones contrast against the austere gray background, while a simple dark sake cup provides quiet counterpoint. Through this juxtaposition of natural and artificial forms, the artist invites us to consider both the extraordinary beauty found in common objects and the different ways we mark the passage of time.
