SANDSCAPES — A MEDITATION ON PERMANENCE THROUGH IMPERMANENCE

Sandscapes is more than a generative artwork. It is a time-based meditation, a contemplative, ever-changing simulation that draws its breath from code and settles its form through physics. It is a study of slow motion. Of cascading decisions. Of visual silence. It invites you not to watch, but to witness the emergence of form, the inevitability of entropy, and the strange permanence of things that are always changing.

This project simulates the timeless ritual of sand falling through glass, inspired by kinetic sandscape frames that once graced desks and windows, their sand slipping between air bubbles and gravity, forming miniature deserts and alien horizons with each turn. But where those objects were analog and physical, Sandscapes is immaterial and eternal. It lives on-chain, entirely encoded in Ethereum, not hosted on a server, not streamed through a CDN, but inscribed into the blockchain itself.
