This intimate painting elevated in a white glazed Sake cup. The stage-like setting presents the sculptural object as a vignette. The shell's spiral form and delicate pink striations are emphasized against the white of the cup.
The background holds a pattern of colors echoing the shell and suggesting a subtle dialogue between the organic and the constructed.
Set in confined square format with shadowed corners, the painting achieves a chapel-like solemnity This treatment elevates a humble fragment of marine life into an object of quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to consider the intersection of natural beauty and human systems of display and preservation.
