Amazing 3-D Sand Art Warps Your Sense Of Reality

There’s many impressive examples of sand art out there – beachy recreations of the Taj Mahal, dragons, and life-size cars among them – but we’ve never seen sand sculpting that plays with shadow and space quite like that of artists Constanza Nigini Nightingale and David Rendu.

The duo create sandy mind-benders using a technique called “anamorphosis,” or distorted perspective. Their work, impressive large-scale images, creates the illusion of being three-dimensional. And of course, each creation begs for interaction…before the surf washes their art away. Their latest installation, “Hole to Another Dimension” caught our attention, then we collected some of our other favorite past projects too.
