It seems that during the pandemic, a lot of us found some new hobbies and interesting things to do. Some of us learned some useful skills such as cooking and gardening, got interested in a healthy lifestyle, started doing sports outdoors, or turned to our creative side and started painting or got into DIY things. We all had to become creative since the range of activities was minimized and traveling was out of the question.

Anna Chan, who is a jeweler and designer, took the best out of the situation. The New York-based artist went to Robert Moses State Park, where she would spend her days by the beach. There she started sand sculpting as she had an idea to create 12 art pieces for a 2021 calendar. Soon this evolved into “an obsession”: creating beautiful, symmetrical mosaics and real-life animal portraits.

Bored Panda asked her what she thinks the future holds for her and whether she has new ideas related to her recent project. Her answer sounds promising and shows that it’s only the beginning of great things: “I have so many ideas and directions I want to try with sand. I want to bring my sand technique back to my roots as a jeweler and make some experimental pieces. Also, my goal is to lift the sand off the flat surface so it won’t be just a bas relief but a 3-dimensional sculpture. I envision my work in 6 months will be very different from what it is today, but equally delightful.” One of the things she will present in the future is a sand kit that will be found on www.annachan-art.com. So we can only stay tuned to see how Anna Chan will surprise us in the future!
