During the past two years, my sculptures started to retreat into their shells to find a secure place during these challenging times. These pieces grow appendages to feel out our frenzied social shifts and build up layers of shell and coral to protect themselves. They feel the urge to reach out but hold back, diving instead into memories and virtual reality. They are holding tokens, precious discoveries like a pearl of wisdom or a tiny shell, which helps them to stay grounded during the tumult of our changing tides. After the storm passes, they will emerge again, revived, with new ways of sensing the world around them, ready to rebuild and create a new destiny.
