The Quiet Shield (Metal Art)

A gesture of remembrance and resilience - shaped by what cannot always be named, but is always felt.  Cowrie shells - symbols of protection, abundance, and ancestral power, once used as currency - move through this work as spiritual armor and cultural memory.

Rooted in the echoes of ancestral wisdom, The Quiet Shield is a poetic meditation on rest as resistance, softness as strategy, and the sacred power of protection passed down through generations. An abstract cowrie shell design rises from deep black - not as ornament, but as offering. Paired with a lyrical letter of love created in deep respect for the many who hold the world together - often without thanks, often without pause.
