Salt of the Earth: A Visual Odyssey of a Transforming Landscape

By Barbara Boissevain

The San Francisco Bay's salt ponds: A poweful photo story of nature's ability to regenerate and renew

Salt of the Earth is a striking monograph, which skillfully
captures humanity's impact on the environment. From ground-level
perspectives to aerial shots, Barbara Boissevain's unique compositions
of industrial salt ponds, accentuate the surreal qualities of landscapes
altered by human activity. The artist's intention extends beyond
crafting captivating visuals; her work seeks to raise awareness of
pressing environmental concerns and inspire engagement in conservation-
related activism. Boissevain's photographs of otherworldly landscapes
compel us to reflect on the delicate balance between creation and
devastation. Her powerful imagery challenges viewers to reassess their
role in shaping Earth's future, ultimately urging us to confront the
consequences of our actions and actively participate in preserving the
environment for generations to come.
