                                          Text    From sand you have come.

   To sand you shall return.

From a broad palette of wondrous materials that transcends the limitations of standard           solutions,

   You shall rise again.


The overconsumption of sand exposes an absurdity in our society.
We are building foundations to secure our future while hollowing out the planet, slowly digging away the sand beneath our feet,
causing the real foundation to disappear, seems somewhat ironic.

The world can't sustain one-way thinking, just as it can't sustain one-way consumption, as this leaves the world trembling on one leg, creating a shaky foundation.

In the same way that the steak on your plate is finding alternatives, so is the sandwich element of the wall. What was once limited by a given is now a diverse palette of options, allowing for further considerations into local resources, climate, and the needs of people, rewinding architecture and the world ahead.
