Septa

 Generations of scientists and artists have been confounded by the sacred geometry of the Nautilus, an ancient mollusc that has resisted evolution and remained structurally unchanged for over 450million years. The cross section of this creature reveals the Golden Mean Spiral, an almost universally appealing aesthetic form that seems to be a manifestation of the geometry of the universe.Ironically the seemingly stagnant form is one of the most evolved patterns in nature, that may hold the key to understanding nature's beauty.



Inspired in my own humble way by this creature, I present 'Septa' : A collection of shell pendants that draw from the compartmentalized spiral that reveals itself in the cross section of the Nautilus.
