I like it. They had a bit on NPR about a young kid who goes to school in NY and how he dealed with the attack there in NY. The kid really loved the Twin Towers and was looking forward to visiting them. He will never get that chance now. His mother said that to deal with the horror the child kept drawing pictures of the wtc. She did not stop him from drawin because she believed it was good thing.
I see this sand sculpture as the artist's way of dealing with it. Also there is an "eastern" aspect to building the sculpture out of sand. There are certain styles of art where there is tremendous effort put in making the piece, but they only use non-permanent media, like sand, not marble. It's almost like sidewalk chalk art or proper graffiti, you know it will be washed away or covered up but it goes with the turf.
And the guy in the purple headdress is not smiling, but simply the design of his facial hair makes it seem that way.
