Salt is a material of paradox—both a giver and taker of life, a preserver and a destroyer, a crystal of quiet beauty and raw corrosion. Born of sodium and chlorine, it binds opposites together in a lattice of unyielding structure, dissolving only to return, reforming itself in endless cycles. Light bends through its translucent crystals, turning the ordinary into something luminous, sculpting landscapes both microscopic and vast. It drifts between states—solid rock, dissolving current, shimmering dust—leaving traces of its presence in the air, the earth, the sea.
This project is a material exploration of salt in all of its forms. I was interested in discovering what makes salt unique as a material through an investigation of its physical and metaphorical properties. The translation of my findings is a book of photography sleeves, a reference to the transparency of salt and my photographic exploration of its materiality.
