“Fairy tales and legends” is the theme of this year’s World Sand Sculpture Festival now underway at the Tottori Sand Dunes in Tottori prefecture. On display (until May 31) are 19 massive works crafted by world-class sculptors from ten nations.
The artists used around 2,700 tons of sand and took about two weeks to complete their works. Fairy tales and legends depicted in these sand sculptures are truly from imaginative minds.
Sand sculptors work frantically to turn their visions into reality in just a few hours, then watch their creations wash away with the next high tide will be a mere waste.In world class competition, using deluge of sand away from the beach is never easy, but a pragmatic way to avoid high tide.
Such big time competition, the creations go beyond simple castles by turning mere sand and water into true art. By judging their impeccable creations, the competition has become pretty “fierce” because such people exist like these professional sand carvers. By giving free reign to their own creativity is important and they could turn the beach into a fantasyland by just doing imaginative things with sand is amazing indeed.
Such competition is also held in various parts of the world. When will it be in South East Asia, I wonder.
