This face-framed panel is based on a vintage photo postcard found by the artist.
Two women are shown with a large bivalve shell in the background of a seascape. Although reminiscent of The Birth of Venus, the context and background details of how this was created are unknown. By showing the face through the two round open voids, the figure becomes nested in the past becoming a modern person, or the present becoming the past.
