Artist Statement: I specifically chose the usage of snail shells, desert rose specimens, sand collected from a desert and perennial flowers because of the symbolism associated with snails, sand, and perennial flowers. Snails and sand are commonly used as symbols of time’s passing. Perennial flowers can be a symbol of the cyclical nature of life.
