A dream!

I bet you had many dreams as a child. We all do. Dreaming big is a good start.

I have a dream that I’d love to share with you. You might be surprised by the topic of my dream. It’s all about sand!

My dream is to gather sand from every nation in the world and for this sand to serve as the best story carrier ever. To spotlight the beauty of each sand grain and of sand on a bigger scale. To enhance the awareness both of the importance and the scarcity of sand on a global scale.

The dream might sound naive to some. Overly ambitious to others. Unrealistic or simply nonunderstandable to yet some. It’my dream nevertheless.

We all have to start somewhere. Here we go!
