Bordallo Pinheiro Sardines The Lobster inside meThe Sardine with a lobster soul is a metaphor for life being our private ocean. A place where we need to flow like a sardine and grow like a lobster to leave our comfort zone. It is in the constant cycle of shedding and growing shells that we evolve to be more and more who we are. It is not the sea that changes our way of sailing, it is our way of sailing which changes the sea.
