Desert Breath is a land art installation by D.A.S.T., established in 1995 by Danae Stratou, Alexandra Stratou, and Stell Konstantinidis. It emerged from a shared commitment to creating in the desert, which is viewed as both a physical and mental landscape of infinity. The collective shaped the work around the conical form, inspired by the natural movement of sand. Spanning 100,000m² in Egypt’s eastern Sahara near El Gouna, the installation required moving 8,000 m³ of sand to sculpt two interlocking spirals of positive and negative cones surrounding a 30-meter water-filled core. Set between the Red Sea and mountains, it presents a striking aerial image and invites a contemplative walk. Finished in March 1997, Desert Breath endures, its weathering embodying the passage of time.
