About the Item

Salt is the commonest of common things. Essential as it is to human lives, salt finds its place in countless metaphors. As a mineral in the world, it has a sort of life of its own. Left to its own devices, salt fluctuates between visible and invisible, organizing itself into structures and patterns that reflect the specifics of environmental factors, then dissolving again. Under ideal circumstances, the mineral settles into clean-edged crystals that maintain clarity and precise right angles as they grow. But circumstances are rarely ideal. Fluctuations in temperature or humidity, an occasional jostle, or pollution in the water will disrupt the crystal formation. Because we know what perfection looks like, we can find reflections of our own fractured nature reflected in the salt crystals that never quite reach their ideal form. -- Christine Lorenz
