Sand As Medium: Concept


"Picture a sand garden in the spirit of the zen gardens of Japan. A digital system conducive to meditation, peace and serenity: where beauty and nature stroll hand in hand through the rhythm of human existence..."

"Un jardin de sable animé dans l'esprit des jardins zen du Japon. Enfin un système digital qui encourage la méditation, dans une ambiance calme et sereine: beauté et nature dans un rythme humain..." (Imagina 2000)


"Un message où peut se lire le mystère que chacun porte en soi-même."

Sand As Medium: a sand installation/sculpture/medium concept created by Jean-Pierre Hébert. A ball etches the sand, pulled invisibly by concealed means. This quiet, interactive installation can create beautiful sand etchings for the beholder enjoyment and for the spiritually inclined meditations.


A sand piece example: "Metagonal Spiral".
