This collage has 4 layers: Stormy Seas, Banquet, Sea Shells and a Library. Each layer symbolises a different aspect of life: weathering a stormy sea, nourishment, sea shells and the noises they make when you hold them to your ear and intellectual pursuits such as charting unexplored territories.

The golden compass sits in the centre offering a point of view, depending on which direction you choose. The crab sits majestically with his protective shell which looks like a face and is known as “Heikegani” in Japan as The Samurai Crab.
