This sand sculpture had no explanation, so I will give it one. The woven bands represent the economies of the world, interconnected and intertwined to the point of supporting each other and depending on each other for their shape and integrity. As long as the base is intact and solid, the structure is upright and recognisable. The base is the US economy and the US dollar. When it collapses, the whole thing becomes unravelled and in the end, is nothing but a pile of sand. Those little compartments in the foreground are the savings and pensions of innocent investors, like myself, who peer into the box and find it ...... empty.
