Description
Through the combination of anthropomorphic imagery and hyperrealist detail, the contemporary mixed-media sculpture Shell Core explores the idea that every person is a precious pearl, often concealed within their own shell. The work is dedicated to the image of a whole and resilient individual grounded in a strong inner core, whose strength and integrity remain intact beneath the surface. Created using a real seashell, polymer clay, air-dry clay, and mixed-media techniques, this one-of-a-kind sculpture combines symbolic storytelling with a contemporary art vision.
