In Argentina I walked by a large dune landscape. The wind formed marvelous forms, by bringing the dry sand particles out blown and the damper, underlying layers ornamentation-like. Sometimes like fabulous creatures. For me this is a metaphor of power. The wind (time) forms the grains of sand (humans) to appearances and blows these also again.
