2004 3rd Place Winner
Photographer: Daria Sheen
Where: Pearl Culture Center, Uwajima, Japan
When: September 8, 2004
Brief description: A mother-of-pearl bead is implanted into the mature ovary tissue of a seed oyster for about a year, then when the sea water temperature is low, the shells are opened and the pearl removed.
What this image means to me: What this image means to me: the growth from a small bead into a world beauty takes scrupulous care and cultivation.
