Seen on a cemetary in the German city of Karlsruhe - a very different sort of tomb stone

SAND AND WIND ARE LOVERS CREATING SCULPTURES TOGETHER

During the years I lived in Mali I looked at sand everyday

Every single day of my stay I could observe the work of the most powerful transformer

and the greatest sculptor of all times

who shapes everything according to his likes. 

with the power of his mighty lover - the wind. 

I love this image in particular because you can see their love making when the sand is whipped over the beach, shaping, modeling and changing the leaf's appearance in the front while at the side sand particles are racing like wild horses trying to escape.

Sand and wind are lovers creating sculptures together

that are so hard to imitate

that you are afraid to try

A NATURAL SCULPTURE

This story is about Jacques because he deserves a story entirely about him.

Jacques is a designer, creator and artist.

Talented, inventive, improvising with a mind as vast as the universe. And what more can be said about him?

He lives in Nieu Bethesda.

And these are just some of the things he does. This is the interior of his shop NOK NOK.

A handpainted table with " non matching chairs". I am so glad I live in the era of the " non-matching things ".

Another view of the inside of his shop. But things change all the time with him as Jacques tells me.

So you might not find what I saw when you go there.

AND THE OUTSIDE.........

The Orange Hallway of the Nok Nok Guesthouse. I think I forgot to say that he also designed the interior of the Nok Nok familiy guest house in Nieu Bethesda.

This is what I was talking about.

Cacti surrounded by overwhelming yellow...... Usually he tries to hide the backside of his creations but they also fantastic as you can see below.

The inside of the familiy guest house has indeed many surprises.

And I just love this.....Thanks Jacques for a wonderful time
