The sound of the sea, from a slight murmur to a great storm, is the theme for Ole Rosén and Mari Røysamb’s collaboration, the surrealistic sculpture ‘Ørekonkylie’. Humans have forever tried to hear the secrets of the sea inside the conch, which is regarded a poetic symbol of the relationship between man and the sea. The conch is admired and valued as a natural aesthetic object, and many of them have been brought back home from exotic sea travels, even to Trondheim harbour. Anyone who has ever been gifted a conch has held it up to their ear and heard the sound of the sea. In this large-scale figurative bronze sculpture, the opposite is also true; the conch has its own ear so it can listen to what the humans say.
