Rocks resting in the ocean

 

Rock balancing is the act of creatively stacking rocks into a pile or tower. While there are no rules involved in this meditative practice, rock balancing artists discourage the use of wires, glue or any other adhesive material, because rock balancing by definition is a process meant to support the “leave no trace behind” conservation effort and promote patience and concentration.

 

Immigrant artist Bill Dan, has been credited with drawing attention to this new performance art in both the US and and abroad.

 Have you ever tried rock balancing? What do you think? Is it an impressive art form or just “meh”?
