What is sand?
Sand consists of loose grains of material primarily made up of minerals like quartz, mica, and feldspar, as well as small fragments of rocks. Sand paintings are created by pouring colored sand into intricate designs, often for cultural rituals or special celebrations. These designs can take many days to complete and are traditionally brushed away after the ceremony, emphasizing the impermanence of the artwork.
