ARENARIUM

A world in grains

A world in grains.

A unique collection of sands from across the world, ranging from distant deserts, shorelines and riverbeds to volcanic slopes and glacial plains. The project presents a systematic ordering of a global sand collection in which each gathered sample is cataloged like a brushstroke and labeled with its precise place of origin.

Each sand stripe bears the imprint of a place, a moment, a movement — and for me, each one is a memory or a wish. Together they compose a map of the Earth.

Currently, the Arenarium consists of 12 works (70 × 50 cm), forming a compilation of 180 different sands. The collection continues to grow with every new addition. The Arenarium can be presented in various ways depending on the space, yet it is always intended to be perceived as a cohesive whole: either horizontally (2.80 × 1.50 m) or vertically (2.10 × 2.00 m).
