The artist, who grew up in Crimea , uses ground lava sand because it is very fine-grained. Your animations are created on a light table illuminated from below on which a bed of sand lies. The thickness of the layer of sand on top allows the light shining through to become lighter or darker, which gives shape to your figures. The surface of the sand bed is visibly transferred to large screens for large audiences during your presentations.
