The Dead Sea is inhospitable for life, but fertile for art
The Dead Sea is about 10 times saltier than the ocean and nearly devoid of life. In summer, temperatures surrounding its southern basin regularly top 100 degrees.

As Julia Griffin reports, the ensuing crystallization process profoundly transforms them.
