Three different scale-models of the Salt-Tower…

As seen at the ongoing @rossana_orlandi @guiltlessplastic exhibition @m7.qatar , on the first floor…

It’s estimated that 99% of potable water in The region is desalinated sea water, a process that requires 5 litres of oil per each cubic meter of treated water. Most desalination plants are located along the country’s coast, resulting in the adjacent sea being approximately 30% more saline than the sea beyond.
The design of the Salt Tower was catalyzed by the aforementioned.
Placed by the coast, near to a desalination plant, the design is surrounded by a salt farm, which provides the raw material - the bricks - that make up the bulk of the Salt Tower’s walls.
Here, however, the tectonic support is, in a sense, ‘reversed’, and is actually provided by the gridded 'mortar’ that surrounds the hollows that support the salt bricks.
The bricks would be sized to reflect the average quantity of salt used per person per hour, working day (8 hours), and full day in Qatar
Maintaining this wall of salt would require constant upkeep. The salt farm provides the material, but human labour would be needed to both fabricate the bricks and to patch the cavities resulting from seasonal rains and general erosion.
The tower would act as a constant quantified reminder and manifestation of the energy and effort required to provide us with one of our most basic needs…

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

“I have always avoided doing portraits as something per se. A face is so powerful and dominates all else. In this series I have hidden the face in a variety of manners, trying to allow other information to surface and define the person (…) If art is a mystery, then the face is a betrayer and should be hidden.”Disguise Yourself as Another Object (a Big Bird), 2016. After John Baldessari:Disguise yourself as another object – a tree maybe. Or becoming a tree. A big bird?

The Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, made a visit to Ukraine today and met with President Zelenskyy as well as several other government officials.
Her face in the bottom picture, while witnessing the destruction in Bucha, says it all.
