Collection: Delicate and defensive - Sea urchin - Quadriptych

Four bodies. Four postures. Four ways to protect oneself.
"Art Change" is a series about the principle of defense – in nature and within ourselves. Each sea urchin embodies its own form of protection: deception, deterrence, structure, retreat.

In this series, the untamed logic of the sea encounters the clear geometry of space. Each sea urchin rests on a sofa—a symbol of human comfort—and in this silent confrontation expresses its strategy of self-assertion. The series reveals the animal not as decoration, but as a space for reflection: as a mirror to an ancient mechanism between vulnerability and survival.
