This 7-foot-high innovative work of art is made from 10 tons of sand. This amazing sand sculpture is a result of Pattnaik and his sand art school student’s creativity and hard work. This ingenious artist has already helped the tsunami victims in India, save the endangered Olive Ridley Turtles and spread awareness of the dangers of HIV-AIDS and polio through his artwork. Until now Pattnaik has participated in more than 40 international sand sculpture championships across the world and succeeded in winning a few.
