The inspiration behind our project is the Dead Sea, it’s rapid decline, and the mesmerizing landscape it leaves in the process. Covering the coastline is a thick layer of crystalized salt growing on rocks

and even trees. Everything the water touches becomes frozen in time, coated in rock-hard crystals. This process inspired us to make dozens of experiments, trying to imitate this effect by submerging objects in different salt-saturated solutions.

The salt crystals on the sneakers haven’t been altered in any way, displaying the exact given results after being submerged.

The stool have been made to recreate the contradictory soft and almost cloudlike landscape of the dead sea, and the crystals are placed to imitate erosion.
