Salt

When I was 7 years old, I suddenly decided to train my willpower by eating salt. I didn't know anything about the harms of salt. I started with very small portions and made a decision to end up when I'd increased every day portion to one teaspoon. My goal was eating salt without wince-making. Unfortunately, I don't remember why I did it. But I did it. For now I have willpower more than ordinary people. But on the other hand, I lost many ingredients of character as tenderness, gentleness, tolerance. At the very beggining of this photo project, I questined myself how I'd tell this story, which left a mark and impacted all my life. When I traveled to the saline Lake Baskunchak, I submerged my portrait taken at my childhood in the lake. While I observed portrait eroded by salt, I realised that it would be the best way telling my story.
