The symbolism of a scallop shell has been with us humans since the very beginning of our civilization,in our mythology and religious beliefs specially Christianity. Seashells in general have been collected and used as currency, in many cultures.The magnetic signature of seashells is connected to the very beginnings of our universe.The sacred geometry of shells transcend the physical realm and digs deeper into the spirituality of men.Seashells are part of our heritage transmitted in the arts ,we find designs in architecture,painting,sculptures,designs,etc. As a beachcomber I feel connected to seashells and whenever I can ,I escape to the coast in search of these beauties.Words and pic by Sergio GuymanProust.
