Michael Aram's limited edition sculptures are handmade artistic explorations inspired by objects and ideas which capture Michael's imagination. The sculptures are limited to 136 editions each and are individually crafted so that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. The Spiral Shell sculpture is the next in a series of "broken shell" pieces which have fascinated the artist. Inspired by shells he picks up while walking the beach with his children, broken shells take on special meaning for Aram.
"For me, shells are a very powerful symbol of the human journey. They are a symbol of strength and truth, recognized by cultures and faiths around the globe. Blowing into conch shells create a prayerful sound which symbolizes a call to enlightenment. The image of a broken shell, therefore, represents the fragility of that enlightenment and the need for us to safeguard our physical and spiritual being."
