A few years ago I saw sand pictures for the first time. It works like this: sand lies on a pane of glass and bright light comes from below. What is on the glass pane is projected onto a wall via a beamer. So actually it's just the sand, or how it lies on the glass. The artists now bring the sand into such shapes that figures or objects are created as if they were drawing. It is tremendous how enormously diverse and creative images are created in a short time and how entire stories are told because the images can be recreated very quickly. Of course, you also work a lot with hints. Certain details of objects or people are only hinted at - but this triggers the viewer's imagination to complete the imagined picture. Hints are enough. Even with words - that's why we should be particularly careful there. Even the unspoken communicates.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
