This enigmatic small object merges natural elegance with engineered form, inviting the viewer to imagine a world where life and technology evolved together. A genuine Italian seashell rests delicately atop a precision-cut steel structure, evoking the anatomy of an alien insect or a ceremonial artifact from a forgotten world.
The piece feels simultaneously ancient and futuristic—part art nouveau, part speculative paleontology. Its skeletal wings and organic centerpiece suggest movement and transformation, as if it were a fossilized being mid-flight or a sacred relic designed for an unknown ritual.
Artist: Peter Hauerland

A steel-winged whisper from another timeline—fragile, strange, and beautifully unresolved.
