This piece of art is influenced not only by nature, but also different cultures of the world. The frame of the piece is an Emerald Crab, which are commonly found in tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea. The colors and swirls painted onto the crab are commonly seen in those reefs among the different plants and animals that reside there. The style in which the crab is painted represents an artistic style commonly seen in the Caribbean. The artist also creates slight contrasts between the body of the crab using capiz oyster shells and the matted outer legs and pinchers. The body will reflect light making it seem bolder. All the components come together creating a fun and global piece.
