Sand Sculpture

Sand Sculpture can be a strong expression of creativity, they are incredibly artistic three dimensional creations.  Sculpture done by a Canada artist, who was contracted by the Lifesaving Society to bring about drowning awareness to the public of Vancouver. Sand is a medium that can be used to create beauty, but it can also be used as a way of communication and sharing.

     The artists created this emotionally powerful sculpture to provoke attention to an important message. I love this sculpture because it represent the true grief that come such a preventable tragedy. The emotion thats captured within the essences on the sand is incredible.

Reflection
Sand sculpture are made up of millions of gains of sand and when they all combine and merge together they create such beautiful three dimensional images. The material is also incredibly frail to work with in order to work with it an artist must be so familiar with its temperaments and traits. There's something about sand sculpture that makes you just want to reach out a run your fingers along the curves and groves.

There is something magical about sand sculptures that taps into your imagination regardless of wether it's a professionally done sand sculpture that's created for competition purposes or for the the pure love of sand castle making. When a person come across a sand sculpture regardless of its level of techniques its instills a wonder deep within a person, I know this holds true for myself.

Any time that I come across a sand sculpture I begin to wonder and ask myself a series of questions. Who built this, what the story behind the creation? what kind of message has this person left? what kind of miniature world had this person intended to create and share with others ? I also think what so fascinating about sand sculpture is that it can be independent or collaborative or a combination of both. A person can come across a sculpture on the beach that someone has left and add to it's story. There always the potential of growth. There is also this strong sense of continuation that calls to me about sand sculpting, this never ending world of possibilities and potential.
