Shell

14 X 18.5 Inches

The sea and water is the prime source of life, a symbol of transformation, cleansing and resurrection. The spiral form of a shell is a symbol of time: of the cyclic rhythms of the year, the phases of waning and waxing of the moon, and the sun itself. A tight spiral is a symbol of concealed force, a spool of energy. A spiral helix is a symbol of masculinity, a flat spiral a symbol of femininity.
