My last visit to Goa led me to Siridao beach. This beach is so full of shells that every crunchy step made me apologetically cringe. I was overwhelmed by greed, I wanted to bag the beach, and had to exercise great control to pick only a special few. What particularly attracted my attention were flat disk-like shells which have so brutally been abused in the creation of decorative lamps, chandeliers and other such eye-sores. So I was really choosy and picked only a few.With those I brought away, I have created a collection of neck-pieces titled 'Sea Nymph'. The rocky shore of Siridao seems like the perfect playground for these coquettish mythical creatures. The presence of fishermen with their nets and boats adds to the imagery. I'm allowed to be a little whimsical, aren't I ?
