Midnight Shells arranges dark mussel shells and scallops across a deeply textured ground, evoking a nocturnal shoreline marked by movement, tide, and residue. The vertical composition suggests a slow drift—shells carried, paused, and set down by unseen forces. Subtle color traces beneath the surface hint at erosion and accumulation over time, transforming familiar coastal remnants into a contemplative record of place.
