"Time is a thief." I learned this phrase in elementary school. It was regularly uttered by an administrator who, on the first day of school, would wistfully greet the student body, marveling at how much each child had grown over the summer. As a 10-year-old kid, I didn't put much stock into the musings of a middle-aged vice principal. Decades later, however, I better understand and appreciate the sentiment of her words.

'The pavilion is called A Capsule in Time for many reasons... pavilions have a temporality, which is not about time but about a moment-to embrace and enjoy it.'

The event at Ocean Beach showcased a strong community spirit, where creativity merged with nature as people crafted intricate sand art, embracing impermanence and kindness.
