Afruz Amighi’s *Sounding Shell* installs steel-and-mesh sculptures with luminous alabaster fragments—eyes, teeth, breasts, claws—resting on the floor as if bodies mid-disintegration. Drawn from myths including the Mexica moon goddess Coyolxāuhqui, the work links destruction to transformation. A heartbeat soundscape and shell metaphor tie environment and body; it answers Sacred Splendor’s reliquaries.
