The sandcastle was designed by Wilfred Stijger, a Dutch designer who drew his inspiration from the COVID-19 pandemic. The top of the castle features the shape of a coronavirus to represent how the virus is currently ‘ruling our world.’ Building it took 30 artists using approx 4.8 tons of sand, some clay, and a layer of glue. | NowThis | Facebook
