Sea shrine is a place for contemplating the bitter sweet reality of our existence; when enjoying the wonders of the ocean or living our daily lives, we leave our mark - and it is not always a good one. Our challenge is to be aware of the "footprints" that we leave in the sand and to strike a sustainable lifestly balance. While secular in nature, this shrine utilizes religious references including the rosary, shells, hermit, and labyrinth. The coral "architecture" is inspired by medieval drawings of trees integrated with the pointed arch of gothic cathedral windows.
