WGSN Tumblr - Fashion Trend Forecasting & Analysis

Japanese artist Yamamoto Motoi creates these mind blowing patterns out of poured salt. Motoi started these installations when his younger sister died from brain cancer, which led him to memorialise her in his labyrinthine’s. After hundreds of hours of pouring and once each piece has been exhibited for several weeks, he invites the public to destroy each work and help pack the salt into bags and jars to then be thrown back into the ocean. Truly heartfelt work. 

A new installation will be created at the Laband Art Gallery in Los Angeles. Dates for viewing the work in progress are August 29, 30, 31 and September 4, 5, 6. It will finally be completed and open on September 8.
