Startling blues, rich as summer skies, and vibrant greens, glowing like fluorescent lights, contrast against the deep browns of the unveiled lands. Salt crystals, the abandoned remains of the retreating saline waters, form white, glass-like sheets encasing the halophiles (organisms that thrive in a concentration of salt five times greater than that of the ocean) whose biological makeup causes the tinting of the surrounding sediment. Salty whites mesh with arctic purples and sheets of gold encircle lava-hot reds. Ben Tov brings forth a kaleidoscopic wonderland.
