Description
The series "Parallel Lives" displays two seashells of the same species. Depending on many factors — length of time in the ocean after its inhabitant has died; levels of dissolution, abrasion, incrustation, pitting and fading; and degree of cleaning after collection — the paired shells become both an exploration of ideal vs. distorted form and an allegory of the vagaries of fate.
