Local sand artist Andres Amador, known for the intricate designs that he etches into the sands of Ocean Beach, is featured in a new Afrikaans language music video from an artist named Rozanne Gewaar.
Gewaar moved to California and began researching beaches for the video shoot when she came across Amador’s work.
“It took a while to come together because he was traveling and has to work when the tides and sand consistency is right,” Gewaar told us.
In the video for “Klein Gode” (Small Gods), which was shot at Fort Funston, Stoman walks among the cliffs and trails above the beach as Amador works on a large design in the setting sun.
Gewaar wrote the song and says it’s “part love song, but also speaks to the creative process and ambitions”.
In an online interview, Amador said though he normally works alone, he enjoyed this collaboration.
“I love that it’s Afrikaans. I love that I don’t know the words, I don’t understand or know the language but the sounds are so beautiful that I really appreciate it,” Amador said.
