Japanese Salt Artist Motoi Yamamoto in Charlotte

Last month the uptown location of the MINT MUSEUM hosted Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto to create an original 20x20 organic work of art made entirely of salt.

At the conclusion of his work, the public was invited to "participate" by stepping into the artwork and collecting a small baggie of salt to take with them (and later deposit into a natural body of water at any point on the globe.) See all the pictures here.
