It is a connection to nature and the earth, where every grain represents a story waiting to be told. ## Photos and videos - ![Here I am on the beach at sunset, with the very material that I use to tell my stories. For me, sand is not just a medium, it is a connection to nature and the earth.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a54d3b3e-5b2e-49aa-a43b-4d18589103c2) ## About The Artist & The Medium I personally source and prepare the sand for every performance. I use double-sieved river sand that is dust-reduced to ensure the fine texture required for smooth, fluid visual transitions. This practice keeps my shows eco-friendly and grounded in the materials I love. My journey with sand started in art school, but it became my primary medium when I realised how much this simple, natural element could convey. Sand is honest. It does not hide anything. When I draw on the lightbox, the image appears, tells its story, and then fades away. It is a performance that exists only in the present moment. This aligns with my belief in sustainability, or eco-art. I avoid synthetic materials, sticking instead to what the earth provides, treated with care. Whether I am performing at a summit in Bangalore or a global stage like the G-20, the process remains the same. I prepare my own sand, calibrate the overhead camera rig, and sync the visuals to music to create what I call a Sand Melody. Each performance is a mix of technical precision and artistic intuition. Some ask me if it is difficult to work with a medium that disappears so quickly. I see it as a strength. By not creating a permanent physical object, I do not add to waste. I create a memory, a story that the audience holds onto long after the show. This is the essence of my work—connecting people through a medium that has been under our feet all along. ## About Raghavendra Hegde I am Raghavendra Hegde, a visual artist based in Bangalore. My work with sand is built on the belief that art should respect the environment, and I strive to turn simple river sand into moving stories for your events.
