This piece began as a simple sketch of a turtle shell, but blossomed into a dynamic form that evokes the beauty of the underwater world.

Crafted from a combination of metals with a wooden base, the sculpture features a mesmerizing interplay of textures. Copper and brass shimmer with a warm glow, reminiscent of sunlight filtering through the water. The shell form is constructed from mild steel, adding a touch of strength and structure. The sculpture rests upon a base of polished mango wood, echoing the rich tones of the tropics.
