Sands of Sorrows is an experiential installation adapted from the prose-poem “Towards the Plane.” The piece gathers heaps of sand into a sculptural landscape that embodies accumulation, trauma, stiffening, relapse, healing, and play. Familiar materials, mossy surfaces, and looping mechanical motion anchor the emotional and temporal resonances of the human psyche. The triangular form, repeated in the structures, gestures to habitual patterns — how we build, collapse, re-build.

Rhythm emerges through dripping water, falling sand, and mechanical hold-and-release patterns, turning the environment into a sensual soundscape. The work lays out a terrain of inner topographies, mapping the cycles of feeling and memory in physical material.
