Salt Project, "Returned to Sea"

I perform a project "Return to Sea" on the last day of the exhibition. I and the assenter of this project return the salt which is the material of the work to the sea after the exhibition end. The photograph which appeared in here was photographed by an assenter, and it was sent back by an E-mail.

"The form as the work disappears. However, this salt dissolves in seawater and will support the life of various creatures. Possibly the opportunity when we eat it may come. Of course it is the best joy for me if it can meet again as material of the works."
