My name is Egle Tenikyte, a Lithuanian photographer now calling the stunning coastal town of Cascais, Portugal, my home. For over a decade, my world revolved around fashion photography, working with various brands across the globe. But everything changed the moment I arrived in Portugal…

A few years ago, I had the chance to experience the Caramulo Motor Festival and Estoril Classics, Portugal’s most renowned automotive events. The moment I stepped in, I was overwhelmed—by the thunderous roar of engines reverberating through my body, the irresistible elegance of classic sports cars, and the sheer, untamed passion that seemed to linger in every breath of air. It struck me like a tidal wave, the same way I felt the first time I stood before the vastness of the ocean.

In that moment, I understood that I had to unite my two greatest passions: the timeless grace of classic sports cars and the wild, untamed spirit of the ocean. And so, Drive Me to the Ocean was born—a project where the sleek lines of automotive design flow effortlessly alongside the eternal rhythm of the waves. Like the heartbeat of the ocean, the roar of an engine pulses with raw, untamed energy—an anthem of power and freedom, resonating deep within the soul, alive and boundless, forever intertwined in a dance of infinite beauty.

Drive me to the ocean.. within your chest.

The story of my seashell necklaces began in Fiji, an archipelago of over 300 islands nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, where I first laid eyes on the ocean.

I had dreamed of that moment since childhood, longing for the day I could live close to the ocean. Yet, life never gave me the chance to stay as near to it as I wished. So, I decided to carry a small part of it with me, no matter where I went.

Each seashell, cradled in a necklace, rests close to the heart, where its gentle rhythm mirrors the heartbeat, like the sound of the waves. And in return, the seashell whispers the ocean’s soothing song back to the heart creating the eternal connection.

Keep this seashell close to your heart and let me take you on a journey across the deep blue oceans and wavy seas..
