While the perspective of this scene of sand-sculpting and splatter-painting from the shadows on the periphery conveys an initial impression of barely-contained chaos and noise, the viewer quickly realizes that it is in fact a loving depiction of the joy of creation and the creative process, and how that enthusiasm infects both the artist and the observer and can, in fact, spur the observer to create themselves -- whether that be the children innocently playing in imitation of the sculptor on stage, the parents creating photographs of those children at play, or Maeve herself contemplating the scene as a whole.
