Tidal Totem

Tidal Totem
Silver-gilded stones, one gold-gilded stone, lapis lazuli fragments, resin base tinted deep ocean blue
24 × 15 × 15 cm

This tall, elegantly stacked form rises like a sea-worn marker standing against the rhythm of the tides. The alternating silver stones, balanced around a single glowing gold centre, suggest moonlit waters and shifting currents, while the lapis lazuli embedded at the base evokes the depth of the ocean.

Stone Map
• Silver-gilded stones – echo moonlit sea rocks and the cool shimmer of tidal water
• Gold-gilded central stone – a solar heart, suggesting the pulse of energy at the core of the tides
• Lapis lazuli fragments – a reminder of the depth and mystery of oceanic worlds
• Resin base in deep ocean blue – an anchoring platform that reflects the sea’s expanse
