Description

A hopeless romantic dreamer, someone immature, lacking substance and depth can be idiomatically described as a person building sandcastles. Don’t you agree that there is something irresistibly childish and naive in this type of pastime? Even the two main substances needed to make a sandcastle – sand and water – are suggestive of a fragility and transience of the end product. A typical sandcastle resembles a miniature sand sculpture of a building or a medieval castle of various complexity and size. Children are not the only ones who adore playing with the sand: sometimes adults will also engage in sand sculpture contests which are usually not limited to building sandcastles alone. Shapeless heaps of sand are used to create spectacular works of art completed with nothing but sand, water, and lots of imagination.
