EASTERN MINERAL

In the transformative year of 2013, a remarkable project unfolded, featuring a unique sculpture and a captivating painting within the offices of the company. At the heart of this artistic endeavor stood a sculpture crafted from an extraordinary medium—over 700 pieces of 5000-year-old salt sourced directly from the company's mine in the north of Chile. This exceptional material not only added a symbolic layer to the artwork but also connected the sculpture deeply to the company's core operations.

​

Positioned prominently in the entrance of the offices, the salt sculpture left an indelible impact, prompting the company to install a guest book for visitors. Each guest was invited to share their tactile and sensory experiences, allowing for a collective exploration of the artwork's unique essence. This interactive element not only engaged visitors but also contributed to the ongoing narrative of the sculpture.

​

The overarching concept for the project was poignantly titled "Rebuild the Extracted," underscoring the company's commitment to sustainable practices and the regeneration of resources. The salt sculpture became a tangible manifestation of this philosophy, symbolizing the company's dedication to responsible mining and environmental consciousness. The accompanying painting of the mine complemented this narrative, creating a cohesive visual language that spoke to the company's ethos and the intricate relationship between extraction and restoration. Together, the sculpture and painting transformed the entrance into a powerful storytelling space, inviting all who entered to connect with the company's mission on a visceral level.
