In this sleek reimagining of a natural form, A. Sikander uses black marble to evoke the fluid mystery of the ocean's relics. Seashell is not a direct rendering but a quiet abstraction—its smooth, spiraling shape suggesting movement and memory, darkness and depth. The sculpture’s surface, softly polished yet matte in areas, absorbs light like still water at dusk.

The black stone lends Seashell a meditative gravitas. Where the white version feels airy and reflective, this piece speaks in lower tones—of silence, nightfall, and inward journeys. It invites the viewer to pause, to listen, to trace the unfolding curve not just with the eyes, but with the imagination. As with all of Sikander’s abstract forms, the intent is not to instruct but to open space for interpretation.

About the Artist - A. Sikander

Originally from a small village near Udaipur in the culturally rich region of Rajasthan, India, A. Sikander is a sculptor and member of the Mystik River collective. Working primarily in black and white marble, Sikander explores themes of spirituality and human connection through abstract, modern forms.

His works—such as Infinity Sphere and Mother & Child—reflect a meditative approach to form, inviting viewers to pause and engage with the subtle balance between material and meaning. Rooted in simplicity yet layered with intention, Sikander’s sculptures add a contemplative dimension to the Mystik River collection, broadening its dialogue between tradition and modernity.
