Let my bones turn to sand
Sand; the shifting foundation of the dunes. Made from quartz, minerals, shells and all forms of rock, it has been estimated that a billion grains of sand are born every second. The world’s most ubiquitous and fundamental material is both a medium and a tool for the dune’s gigantic and ever changing landscape. Within this small study we see a broad view of sand, followed by a macro photograph, and finally an individual grain of sand, photographed with a microscope at 40x magnification. Our universe contains at least 70 septillion stars. Astronomers estimate there exist roughly 10,000 stars for each grain of sand on Earth. When you stand on the beach, consider this fact, and then consider your place in the universe.
