These surreal sand sculptures document this peculiar art niche that has sprung up on the shores of international water beds. The natural style is at once calming and overcoming, an offshoot of the merger of organic materials with the vision of talented artists.
Bold beach art and epic poem castles have been erected by way of the small grains. They have come together in a remarkably graceful manner, cascading along the coasts of Egypt and India. The structures have been highly important as far as tourism goes, drawing in crowds of photographers, contemporary art aficionados and backpacking travelers to the stunning sites. Best of all is the way in which the installations can come apart on their own over time.
