In Seashells, O'Connor explores the intersection of natural forms and geometric abstraction. The work relies on a variety of stroke styles and vertical striped patterns to create a sense of depth, suggesting the way light filters through water or settles on calcified surfaces. The portrait orientation emphasizes the stacking of these forms, creating a structural weight that feels both grounded and fluid.

The composition balances diverse shapes with a structured arrangement, reflecting a deep interest in natural harmony. By stripping away literal representation, the artist focuses on the dynamic brushwork and intricate camouflage-like textures that give the abstract forms a felt, physical presence. Each layer of paint contributes to a larger dialogue between the artist's hand and the organic inspirations of the sea.
