Nathalie Khayat presents the new SALT Series at Frieze Los Angeles and it was presented by House of Today, which is a non-profit organization that works towards fostering sustainable design culture in Lebanon. The works in the series highlight a creative process that explores sculptural dimensions.
Khayat explains that “The SALT collection allows for ample room for viewers to interpret and explore the creative process and what was born of it. I found that nature was speaking through me, which was expressed in both the creative process and the unique items that emerged.” Khayat added that she “embraced the idea of not setting clear intentions and abandoning norms, to birth a non-evident coherence between objects… where one calls on the other.”
