Japan-based artist, Motoi Yamamoto uses salt to build amazing large installations and detailed floor patterns. Though his work remains temporary but its beauty leaves a long lasting impression in one's heart and mind.
He believes, "salt seems to possess a close relation with human life beyond time and space. I was interested in the fact that salt is used in funerals or in its subtle transparency. But gradually I came to a point where the salt in my work might have been a part of some creature and supported their lives. Now I believe that salt enfolds the memory of lives. I have thus had a special feeling since I started using it as a material."
Motoi's works take the form of labyrinths with complicated patterns, ruined and abandoned staircases and too narrow life-size tunnels. All these works are made with salt.
Let's have a look at his commendable work:
