“Cassiopeia” was the first shell from my collection to be exhibited in a gallery. It made its debut on September 19, 2024, at The D’Aguilar Art Foundation as part of “Solaris”, a space-themed group exhibition.

“Cassiopeia”, the only five-point constellation, delves into the interconnectedness of the universe by merging celestial and oceanic elements. Both realms feature vast, uncharted expanses.

Sand dollars, which symbolise peace and tranquility in various cultures, remind us to embrace the calm in our lives. Their understated beauty encourages us to slow down, reconnect with our inner serenity, and find solace in simplicity. This symbolism aligns with my hand-painted dot technique, where each dot represents a star, underscoring the importance of taking time to create a harmonious whole.
