Flags in the sand...

Another piece on exhibition at the Benesse House Museum in Naoshima in Japan. All the flags in the, including South Africa's (although it is the old flag... so the piece must be a couple of years old), have been created with different colours of sand.

Now for the amazing part... all the flags are connected at the back with little tubes for the termites to walk through...
they walk across the art work and gather sand to deposit into their own new little termite flag in the middle! Who would have thought...
