Sand - for me - represents the passing of time, like an hourglass was represented as this in vanitas still life paintings, I have evolved the idea of this and added it into my paintings, acting as a constant reminder that time is limited. Adding the sand to the paint created a thick, textural material for me to work with; spreading it across the surface, which was both relaxing and calming.
