The work

An elaborate setting
for almost nothing.

Enter the container and press the button inside. A pale grain of sand, encased in epoxy and set in a gilded holder, gets fifteen seconds of light. Then the room goes dark.

The World’s Greatest Grain of Sand came from Mackenzies, between Bondi and Tamarama. Procrastinatedon would rather not discuss the selection process. The gallery is open for you to consider the result.
