Preface:

“Because what is the beauty, if not the ugly beginning”

That which is ugly and old photograph well—just like the dead sea.
The paradox is how to find the aesthetic beauty from a process of destruction, how to take something negative and create beautiful art. How can a person take the suffering of nature and turn it into living art?

In fact, a large part of art deals with suffering. Think about the shouts of Monet, the suffering faces of Van Gogh, the portraits of the poor and the hungry of Van Gogh…

Art is attracted to destruction and demolished—sometimes as an attraction and other times not. By dealing with the destruction, we can feel control in this process. And there is a feeling that we can be saved. And maybe even to stop the process.

The work/metaphor of alchemicists deals with transformations, in changing materials—changing from simple matter to that with more value. This too is the goal of art. This path of transforming environmental destruction to beautiful art is not just a matter of aestetics but rather the GEULAH and the beauty from the lose.

The death sea is on the path to its destruction, its death. But it comes alive and hopefully stays alive through the photographs.
The art that appears before you documents the sea's path to destruction, and, at the same time, gives the sea eternal life.
What saves this kind of art from immorale is a state of compassion, care…which is a state of moral/value.

On another level, the art cries out, the land cries, shouting for help.
The lesson is that the sea can be saved through the process of art.
When art is commissioned there is a danger that the work will not be filled with the convictions of the artist. This can be avoided with art that is thought of and carried out with the artist's vision. This type of art discovers the soul of the subject, of the place—like the photographs that you see in front of you.

In these photographs a viewer can see breathtaking beauty whose existence is unknown until seen from a birds eye view.

The dead sea is a place of healing, and a place of spirituality for many cultures throughout history.

If the dead sea could speak it would call to us now for help. The artist, through documenting the process of destruction, is shouting the shout of the sea.
