Shells, pebbles, sand and driftwood in the shape of a mandala represent the universe. Mandalas stand for completeness and direct attention away from the external, materialistic world and toward the core of existence. My creative story began in the small seaside town of Novigrad in Croatia. I collected seashells on the beach and the idea came to me to make a mandala for myself. Seashells are a popular symbol of healing, calmness, beauty, love and grace, which is why they are ideal for your home as decorations or can be incorporated into your spiritual life.
