Inspired by the quiet geometry and resilience of sea urchins, The Urchin captures both the delicacy and power of life beneath the ocean’s surface. Through rhythmic dotwork and radiating symmetry, Elif Kemahlıoğlu transforms this marine form into a meditative mandala — a symbol of defense, regeneration, and balance in nature’s endless rhythm.

This piece resonates with those who seek calm in repetition and order in chaos — collectors attuned to organic symmetry, sustainability, and the hidden intelligence of marine ecosystems.
