This ocean wave sculpture art is performed in mixed media technique using а real seashell and different types of polymer and air-dry clay. Every tiniest detail is hand-sculpted, not casted. This sculpture, born from the depths of the ocean’s allure, is a testament to its rhythmic waves, vibrant marine life, and hidden stories. This compelling narrative of the ocean, which I have focused on, not only celebrates its dynamic beauty but also carries an important message: the urgent need for its preservation amidst threats like deep sea mining and the endangerment of seagrass habitats. Through this sculpture, may we not only appreciate the ocean’s artistry but also rally for its protection.
