Why sand sculpture?

Sand sculpture breaks normal thought patterns and opens up new perspectives on ourselves, on life, on control, relaxation and consumerism. When we hold on to something very tightly - nothing new can enter. There is stagnation and hence despair. It is precisely the agreement to release, to let go of fears, of the future, of what will be, that allows the natural movement of life to exist. Space is made available for new movement, fresh energy, laughter, joy, vitality and presence with what is.

To sculpt in sand is to agree to lose and to process, through working with a material that we loved as children and distanced ourselves from as adults.
