Medea

Species: Hooked Mussel (Ischadium recurvum)

Habitat: Gulf of Mexico

A scarred shell marked by barnacle growth, Medea bears a visible record of contact and endurance. Named for the powerful sorceress of Greek myth, she embodies refusal—of submission, of erasure, of anything that shapes her for anyone else’s comfort.

Note: Some pieces retain their natural points or sharp edges, characteristics inherent to the artifact. By purchasing, you accept responsibility for safe wear.
