An Artist Creates Amazingly Realistic Sand Sculptures Of Animals Look Like They've Crawled Onto Shore

Most people spent their time at the beach, You've probably build a sand castle or two. May be some of them even tried to create something more elaborate by burying their friend and making them look like a mermaid. Whatever the case may be, artist Andoni Bastarrika has you beat when it comes to sand sculptures. He creates incredibly realistic sand animals sculptures tricking people into thinking, they’ve crawled onto shore..You can think what’s wrong with these animals chillin’ on the beach.

In most ways, Bastarrika's work is a mark of humility instead of ego. "Working with sand can be quite challenging," he said. "Especially because I work with low-quality sand, meaning that I cannot build high sculptures. But sand has always been my teacher, that's its way of teaching us a lesson about the dangers of ego and trying to go too fast."
