Untitled (Salt), 2013

Untitled (Salt), 2013, salt, pallet, ink, 160x220x60 cm 

Untitled (Salt) is made with a pallet painted with black ink and sea salt which covers almost entirely the pallet leaving partially exposed a thin horizontal black line.
The top of the accumulated salt forms the shape of a roof. The work refers to the roof as an architectural model of the habitat and the tumulus as a model of a tomb. Salt also represents both life and death. The partially visible thin black line becomes a horizon of almost a rectangular shape. A frame.
