A large group of individuals gathered at Ocean Beach to create elaborate sand art, transforming the beach with patterns like spirals, peace signs, and sunrays. A central theme of this event was the message 'Be Kind.' The atmosphere was vibrant yet fragile, as the art was designed to be temporary. Participants navigated the artworks with care. Andrés Amador, a participant shaped by both environmental science and tech experiences, embodied the spirit of a San Franciscan cultural movement, reflecting both art and community values.
A mass of people congregated on the beach with rakes in hand, creating some of the best and most organized sand art I've ever seen.
Beachgoers wove through the designs, careful but inevitably disruptive, because this was art meant to be temporary.
Amador is the prototype of the San Franciscan hippie who begrudgingly dabbled in tech - just enough to know he despises it.
Twenty-five years ago, after studying Environmental Science and doing a Peace Corps stint in Ecuador, he was working at the IT department of a national bank.
