"Nautilus" By Ashley Edes

Ancient symbols are a language capable of transmitting an entire constellation of meaning, coded in the psyche. This genesis piece pays homage to our prehistoric past — to The Great Goddess, who was not “he” or “she” but nature herself. As one of the oldest surviving creatures in the oceans, the chambered nautilus mirrors the resilience, expansion and renewal of the feminine, residing within each of us as infinite creative potential. For millennia, humans have carried shells over vast landscapes with the belief that these chambers built from seawater can help us find our way home.
