Micheal
Michael makes a living by sculpting beautiful artwork on the beach by using sand and sea water.
Michael says that he does not have a full time job and once he realised how people reacted to his art, he decided to pursue his passion and create masterpieces on the beach.
As this is his only source of income, Michael depends on the beach visitors’ tips and donations to feed himself and his family.
