When Water Is Missing

Salt formations are revealed as the water level of the Dead Sea drops far below its natural state. Under balanced conditions, these structures would remain submerged and unseen. Their exposure is the result of long term human intervention in regional water systems, transforming a stable environment into a fragile and depleted landscape. The image reflects human responsibility for an ecological imbalance that continues to reshape the shoreline.

I am a photographer based in Israel, working primarily with landscape and aerial photography. My work focuses on natural processes and environments shaped by time, water, and geology, with a long term emphasis on the Dead Sea region. Through stillness, scale, and repetition, I explore how landscapes transform quietly yet dramatically. My projects often document places in transition, where natural forces leave visible marks on the land.
