The Shellkeeper’s Vision explores that quiet space we all have inside, where past, present and future seem to blend together. The girl’s gaze is calm and present, yet there’s something in her expression that suggests memories and perhaps dreams. 
 
The two shells beside her face spiral in different directions — one for where we’ve been and one for where we’re going. But the focus is on the here and now — on stillness. That’s the heart of this work: staying grounded in the present, even when life pulls us in all directions.
 
The golden swirls around her head are inspired by Fibonacci spirals in nature — symbols of harmony and growth. They echo ocean waves, thought patterns and cosmic rhythms, reminding us that we’re part of something much bigger.
 
The soft blues and greens are chosen to create a calming feeling — it’s meant to be a visual pause, a moment of reflection.
 
The Shellkeeper’s Vision invites you to slow down, reflect and reconnect — not just with nature but with your own sense of time and stillness. It’s about finding peace in those in-between moments.
