Vanuatu's sandy drawings
SIf
spirit of the dead man fails, so he is destined to
be eaten by the keepress and to wander eternally.
If he succeeds in finishing correctly the drawing (as
the one of the opposite photo), so he will go to the
land of the dead in order to rejoin his ancestors.
It's a myth still existing in the islands of this
region related along the sandy fields. Which reveals
the essentialism and the sociological nature of these
drawings on the sand.
