A gathering at Ocean Beach resulted in intricate sand art, featuring designs like spirals and peace signs with a central message: 'Be Kind.' Attendees participated with care to avoid disturbing the temporary pieces. Andrés Amador, an environmentalist turned artist, embodied a San Franciscan ethos, balancing his past in tech with a disdain for it. His past includes studying Environmental Science and serving in the Peace Corps, while feeling unfulfilled in a banking IT role.
The vibe last Saturday was crop circle. A mass of people congregated on the beach with rakes in hand, creating some of the best and most organized sand art I've ever seen.
Beachgoers wove through the designs, careful but inevitably disruptive, because this was art meant to be temporary.
Amador is the prototype of the San Franciscan hippie who begrudgingly dabbled in tech - just enough to know he despises it.
Twenty-five years ago, after studying Environmental Science and doing a Peace Corps stint in Ecuador, he was working at the IT department of a national bank ('hating every second of it').
