Who pulls itself from its shell
Who scrabbles across sand and avoids diving birds
Who gains the receiving depths
Who survives the predatory onslaught
who grows and mates and feels then the purpose
Who crawls upon this beach
One hundred million and one
Returning her ancient promise.
Excerpt from "Sea Turtles" by David Soubly
This sea turtle skull is part of a series I am currently working on of animal bones. The abstract form and colors make an unusual interpretation of the animal.
