Random Sand Fact

Step into the mesmerizing world of Sonas, traditional sand drawings from Angola. The drawings tell tales of ancient rituals and legends. And – illustrate mathematical principles!

Artists press their fingertips into the sand, forming dots, then draw lines encircle them at a 45° angle. At a boundary surrounding the dotted area, as an unseen frame, the line bounces back at a 90° angle, creating mono-linear designs. 

A blend of art and math that will leave you in awe!

(Whenever close to sand, let your fingertips explore it and unleash your creativity, just as generations before you have done all over the world.)
