André Lepine, brother of Michel, stands in front of a sand sculpture of the statue of Champlain.

Sculptor Michel Lepine built his vision for the Sands of Time exhibit at Expo-Québec one grain at a time over the last three years. Lepine’s hard work was rewarded last the weekend as hundreds of people stood patiently in line to see the exhibit, some waiting upwards of 45 minutes.
