Qua-um

Marilyn delicately carved a breathtaking turtle that epitomizes the harmonious union between nature and art. With great attention to detail, she skillfully carved every curve and contour of the serpentine stone, showcasing her exceptional mastery over this ancient form of lapidary art. The turtle's fluid lines gracefully capture the essence of movement, while its polished surface shimmers with a mesmerizing play of colors emanating from the mineral-rich serpentine. 

Turtle (Edo:wa): Turtle has always been esteemed because it carries its home on its back and goes with the flow of the river, not against it. In some mythologies, the first North Americans envisioned the continent as a turtle because it was surrounded by water. Turtle reminds us to respect Mother Earth.
