Original artwork description:

Collecting shells I recall sea voyages, with each shell a separate story and experience is associated. Echoes of the past, the dwelling of mollusks, the kingdom of Neptune. In many cultures, shells, being houses of deep-sea mollusks, symbolize the origin of life. As a symbol of fertility, a shell that grows precious pearls indicates not only the birth of a new life, but also the birth of a new idea, project, any beautiful and sophisticated solution.
