Sandboxes are designed to encourage peaceful contemplation, develop concentration, and quiet the heart and mind. The shifting sand recalls broad concepts of life and loss, time and timelessness, equilibrium, and nostalgia. Its persistent evolution reminds us of the fluidity of the present moment, the impermanence of human touch, and the power of nature to reclaim.
The Sandbox Network is a place for collaboration, play, and surprise. Encounters may be coordinated among friends or may occur spontaneously among strangers. The sand's stochastic response and the fleeting trace of a touch evoke considerations of distance, longing, and sociability.
