Wooden Relief Carving of Shifting Sand Dunes: A Tribute to Life's Fleeting Traces

This wooden relief carving centers on sand dunes, capturing the fleeting transformation shaped by the wind. As the dunes shift and reform, they leave behind delicate, transient patterns—echoing the passage of time and the traces left by human existence. Grains of sand are lifted, carried, and reshaped, forming undulating curves that resemble the paths of life—real yet inevitably fading.

The interplay between the wood’s natural grain and the carved patterns mimics the fine ripples etched by the wind. The rolling dunes symbolize the impermanence of the world, while the ephemeral lines hint at the marks we leave behind—soon to be erased, yet undeniably present.

We are but dust in the wind, yet our traces remain, however briefly.
