I wonder why people would go to such trouble to create something so... well.. transient?

I realise that sand, by it's very nature, is transient. But, could they not use a medium that would be a bit longer-lasting?

Arantor:
That's part of the joy of it for them, that their medium has a unique property to it, that of being temporary. It adds a twist to how one uses the medium, to the constraints of creating art. It is an essential quality of the artform that it is fleeting.

Jade Elizabeth:
That's beautiful! That would be more meditative than pen to paper, or paint to paper, or what ever. Also it doesn't harm the environment!

K@:
I guess they have the photo's to keep, ay?
