illustrant parfaitement le propos d'Oscar Wilde dans "Le Déclin du Mensonge" qui consistait à dire que "La vie imite l'art plus que l'art imite la vie, ce fond marin prend non seulement la dimension visuelle d'oeuvre d'art abstraite mais témoigne aussi d'un instant photographique du sol marin soumis aux courants et aux vagues d'une mer préhistorique.
Perfectly illustrating Oscar Wilde's "The decay of lying" which reads: "Life imitates art far more than Art imitates life," this seafloor fossil not only bears the visual dimension of an abstract work of art but also demonstrates a photographic moment of the seafloor undergoing water currents and waves of the prehistoric ocean.
