There is something that really appeals to me about these ruined sand paintings. I haven't quite put my finger on it. It could be the idea of having to destroy something meticulously made and orderly to create something that has a natural beauty and effortlessness that the original never had. I enjoy the way the colors and textures mix so much that with this piece, I decided to use only neutral-colored sand to build the patterns surrounding it. I also tried to keep the pattern simple to emphasize the shape and colors of the ruined areas. The forms, depth, and color in this work seem more painterly and landscape based to me that its predecessor.
