After further contemplation, I decided that the sand dollar and it’s birds (and all those shells) were just too much stuff added to this piece. I chose instead, a sliced shell that reflects the shapes in the body and supports how we are all similar on the inside. 

This is on a box frame, so the edges are 1.75” deep. The middle image shows what I have done on that edge. It is blue glass bead to add light play to the edges as the viewer approaches the work and add the sense of water.

Thinking about titles like “Contemplation” “Reflection”  “Going Deep”  “Curiousity”  “Exploration” “Extrapolation”

We’ll see what sticks :-D
