Siratus: Echoes from the Deep invites you to pause and truly listen. The subject, serene and still, tilts her ear to an alabaster Siratus shell — not just to hear, but to feel the ocean’s hum. The flowing lines radiating from the shell represent sound, energy and the eternal rhythm of the sea, capturing a moment of pure presence.
 
Shells have long been symbols of the ocean’s mystery and strength, offering clarity and calm in return for your attention. The soft colours — celeste blue, golden lemon, and a touch of crimson — channel peace and vitality, bringing the calming influence of the air and water elements into your space.
