The Seashells The Seashell Series Sculpting the Seashells is a meditative and sanative practice of processing pieces of self-discovery and uncovering connecting threads of who we are with who we were while contemplating who we aspire to become. The act of collecting shells from the shoreline to sculpt, the gleaning and keeping, represents the uncovering of what the past offers us to find out about ourselves. The process of creating the sculpt- the observing, analyzing and recreating- symbolizes mindful reflection and introspection.
