More than halfway through art school, Motoi Yamamoto's sister succumbed to brain cancer. The resulting grief prompted him to abandon his work in traditional painting in search of something more fundamentally profound. Using salt as his artist tool Because salt is a funerary material in Japanese culture meant to help cleanse one of their grief, it was a natural choice for him to create his artistry of healing. Yamamoto uses salt in either loose form to create intricate labyrinth patterns on gallery floors or in baked brick form to construct large interior structures.
