This story begins at the end of a sunny day spent relaxing on the beach at the Belgian coast. Trying to find my way back home, a new world opened up to me. As in a nightmare, the leisurely seaside was suddenly replaced by a deserted industrial port. Here, sand is extracted in huge quantities from seabeds and sea coasts by frightening metal monsters. In this artificially mountainous scenery, this grey gold waits to be transformed to build our concrete cities. By provoking the disparition of the biodiversity and of the rising sea levels natural protection to offer seaside residences to people that are exactly attracted by the coastal beauty, this situation perfectly portray the paradoxes of our consumerist occidental world. A world in which machines are in control and humans are increasingly denying their innate connection with nature.
