About the Work
The inspiration of this piece came from the negative connotation of making something out of nothing. I was thinking, what are things that we do where we make something out of nothing and it's beautiful. The idea of sandcastles came to mind, as it's so fragile but we still try to make something beautiful and sweet out of nothing.
