Abstract patterns emerge across the exposed sandbanks of Bassin d'Arcachon as receding tides reveal the sculptural artistry created by water flowing across fine sediments. These ephemeral natural designs, visible for just a few hours before being erased and recreated by the next tidal cycle, showcase the interplay of hydrodynamic forces that have shaped this coastal basin since its formation approximately 5,000 years ago when rising sea levels breached ancient coastal dunes.
