Inner Beauty
Inspired by the proverb ‘beauty is only skin deep’, Inner Beauty highlights the need to value ourselves more by our character, talents and deeds than our outward appearance. This distinctive Snail was created by Bristol-based artist Gemma Compton who likes to experiment with pattern and symbolism to explore the meaning of fragility, love, life and loss.
Although the humble Snail would never be described as a typically beautiful creature, it plays an important part in our ecosystem, working the soil as well as being a vital food source for many birds and mammals.
#BeMoresnail – it’s what’s on the inside that counts!
