Sea glass - original

About this artwork:

The treasures I used to find were pieces of sea glass, smooth and colourful in my hand.
Adults might have dismissed them, the world might have called them nothing, but to me they were the most beautiful things in the world: each one a little fragment of magic I could hold. They weren’t treasures in any ordinary sense: not gold, not jewels, not what the world told me to value. What made them precious was what I decided they were.

Sea Glass is about the joy of discovering something small and beautiful, the wonder of noticing what others might overlook, the quiet light that stays with you long after the sand has washed away.
It’s a reminder that treasure is not defined by the world: it’s something you choose, something your eyes and your heart recognise, something that can light you from the inside.
