In "Tides," Joseph Farrar recycles a beach stone and seaweed to create a surprisingly buoyant object that seems to float free of the surrounding sea of grass.

In addition, they allow the player to remove the effect of gravity and to submerge the bottom quarter of the scene in water to affect buoyant objects.
