This photo shows what Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto created out of 2,200 pounds of salt over the course of five days. In the beginning glance it sort of feels like he didn’t actually make anything, but look closer and you’ll see something lovely.

That’s right. Yamamoto turned your entire messy salt pile into an important and complex maze:
He made it-as he makes some of these installations-by sprinkling salt on the floor through a plastic bottle used for machine oil, starting in the back of the tunnel, then moving forward to bypass stepping on the designs he’s already drawn. The whole lot took 50 hours over the course of five days and a whopping 2,200 pounds of salt.
Amazing, no? Now can someone please hand me a couple of pieces of chalk and give me per week or so? I need to resolve this thing. [ Co.Design ]
