Israeli artist Sigalit Landau had a practice of working with the Dead Sea Landau would use the sea for a backdrop in photography and also as a medium for sculpture she would suspend objects in the sea so they would become covered in salt crystals the subjects she chose to suspend where naked on texture shape amd memories she or her family had with them she is writing a book titled salt years that shows her process and thinking of "baptizing" objects in the Dead Sea. Her art is personally visually striking looking at the tiny intricate crystals of salt forming on these every day objects they are almost dirty but its somehow more beautiful this way and I dont know why I really enjoy it I've never seen this done before but its original and beautiful
