Seashell Symbolism

In artistic contexts, the seashell evokes the sea’s presence and the shoreline’s threshold—a compact trace of ocean life brought to hand. As a portable keepsake, it often signals memory, travel, and attentive touch. Its patterned form invites close looking, linking natural structure to human collecting.
