On the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, renowned sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created a thought-provoking sand sculpture on Puri Beach, conveying a powerful message about the dangers of tobacco consumption.
The sand art depicted a poignant scene of a youth’s skeletal remains, symbolising the devastating impact of tobacco. Alongside, a woman and child were shown mourning the loss of their loved one, highlighting the emotional toll of tobacco-related deaths.
Through this initiative, Sudarsan highlights the growing health risks associated with tobacco and encourages people to quit the habit. His sand art serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of tobacco consumption.
The intricate design at the Puri Sea beach drew a large crowd of tourists who gathered to witness the impactful display.
“Through this installation, I hope to remind people that tobacco addiction doesn’t just harm individuals—it deeply affects families and communities. Let’s choose health over habit. #SayNoToTobacco My sand art at Puri beach, ” the internationally acclaimed sand artist wrote on X.
