Narrative of this Piece 

Since before he could walk, Blanco has loved the sand and sea. In grade school, he would always take a handful of sand each week with him to examine under the microscope and discovered a world not so different from our own under there. The expression on his face represents the awe he has for nature in this respect. Naturally, his passion for sand turned into a passion for glass. He loves how transparent and unique each piece of sand is, and applies it to the art of glass blowing. He views himself just as transparent and unique as each grain of sand that he has made into glass.
