Oyster Hat. Price: Price not available. Description: Faris Saleh’s Oyster Hat brings the textures of the shore to the familiar silhouette of a brimmed hat. Oyster shells rise around the crown in overlapping clusters, their curved edges suggesting petals, feathers, and waves. Cream, blush, gray, and brown tones preserve the variety of the shells, while a turquoise accent creates a bright focal point at the front. Bands of shell fragments trace the brim, giving its smooth outline a granular, richly detailed edge. Areas of the pale hat remain visible between the clusters, allowing the form to balance the abundance of natural ornament. The arrangement rewards a moving viewpoint, revealing different hollows, ridges, and layers as the eye travels around it. Both playful and theatrical, the piece brings together personal adornment and marine assemblage. Through this unexpected pairing, Saleh invites viewers to imagine the sea as a source of expressive design, transforming a recognizable accessory into a sculptural celebration of coastal beauty..
