00:00It started when I made a tribute for my late grandmother, God bless her soul.
00:08It started there and then from there, when I was doing it, I feel like it's sort of meditative in a way.
00:17So I just kept doing it and then that's when the local newspaper magazine saw it and they made stories of it.
00:25When creating the sand art, all I need is the garden rig. It acts like my brush or my pencil.
00:32And a really good tide forecast because I have to do the drawings on really damp or wet sand.
00:42So I have to look out for the tide movement during the day or before I'm going to do the sand art.
00:50And I'm also rushing to finish a piece because the tide will come up in like an hour or so.
00:59I get my inspirations from almost everyday life, people that you see, things that you see, stories that you've read.
01:11So all these things can be an inspiration to the sand art.
01:15I've been doing sand art in the UAE for more than two years now I guess.
01:21For now I really, really love doing it here and I can't think of anywhere else where I will do it.
01:31UAE for me is home at the moment so I'll be doing it for quite a long time.
