Salt & Gold: Archipelago

A sweeping shrine to the sea, Archipelago blends earthy texture with tidal colour in a grand arched composition. Hand-painted scallop shells in turquoise, rust, lavender and coral hues rise in soft symmetry, offset by matte grey counterparts and scattered coastal finds. Set within a fresco-style arch of terracotta and clay-toned plaster, this piece feels ancient yet modern—like a sunlit alcove in a Mediterranean ruin. A celebration of repetition, reverence, and the raw poetry of the shoreline, it invites the viewer to slow down and honour the beauty in every tide-washed relic.
