That is some really cool art. I like how temporary it is: creating something beautiful, destined to fade away by time. Nearly everything we humans create is made in such a short time on a geological scale, that it seems even more temporary than half a day at the beach.

(In fact, just to give a sense of scale: if you compare the ratio of the Holocene with the age of the earth and the ratio of one low tide in a human life, the former is 59 million times larger. Just shows how small of a fraction of the Earth we humans have had an impact.)
