Each tile is a fragment of shell — cream, blush, and pale gold — set by hand into a mosaic that shifts with the light. The frame is built on a composite base, with individual mother of pearl pieces carefully placed to create a surface that reads almost woven, almost luminous. A two-way easel back with a metal swivel allows the frame to stand portrait or landscape, settling naturally onto a shelf or dresser without fuss.

Handcrafted in India by artisans working in a fair trade tradition, each frame carries its own subtle pattern — no two arrangements of shell are identical.

IRIDESCENT, THEN MEMORY
