Labyrinth

Today I came across this installation by Motoi Yamamoto, created on the floors of the Saint Peter Cologne cathedral in Germany. Its a Labyrinth created entirely by salt and made by hand, by Yamamoto alone. He started working with salt after his sister passed away from brain cancer, as salt represents mourning and purification in Japan, and used it as a way of honouring her life. He works his way forward carefully as to not cross over his previous work and destroy it, and at the end of the installation a group of children were asked to collect the salt and put it back into the Rhine River. Yamamoto has a lovely story behind his work and the installation looks beautiful and is an almost cradle to cradle cycle.
