"When you hold a seashell to your ear, you hear the sound of the sea. I wonder who first said that? As a child, I found it strange that I could indeed hear something like waves crashing. I imagined the source of the sound deep within the spiral, or perhaps a hidden hole leading to a distant southern island. Seashells have a mysterious charm. Their iridescent interiors feel empty yet somehow full of sound, the scent of the sea, the memory of life, or even layers of time."
"Their iridescent interiors feel empty yet somehow full of sound, the scent of the sea, the memory of life, or even layers of time."
Sound of the sea emerges when a seashell is held to the ear, evoking waves and distant places. Childhood wonder imagines the source deep within the spiral or a hidden hole leading to a southern island. Seashells possess a mysterious charm with iridescent interiors that feel empty yet resonate with sound, scent, memories of life, and layers of time. The description associates interior space with sensory impressions—auditory, olfactory, and temporal—suggesting an architectural atmosphere that embodies memory, natural resonance, and poetic presence. The imagery links small-scale objects and domestic space to broader ideas of history and the sea.
