South African artist Andrew Van Der Merwe has created these stunning sand drawings employing calligraphy original techniques he has been practicing since childhood.

”The work is usually very temporal, often lasting no more than an hour before it is taken by the wind or the tide. I carve the letters in the sand using various instruments and then photograph them with my Nikon D700. I leave no footprints and the tide leaves me with a clean slate.”
