Skin, salt

"Skin, salt" reclaims a tourist-saturated island by stripping it of spectacle. In stillness, the body dissolves into landscape. Uncommodified, unprovoked, offering a quiet resistance to overtourism and the consumption of both land and self.

Skin, salt investigates the body as a site of resistance, in relation to landscape and silence.
Composed during off-season days on one of the most saturated tourist islands in the Mediterranean, the work unfolds as a counter-narrative: stripping the island of spectacle, reclaiming it in a primordial, unadorned state.

In a place consumed by overtourism, where nature is continually eroded and the body is often staged for consumption, the images refuse both narratives. Here, nudity is not a performance, nor a commodity. It lingers as a quiet state, absorbed into the landscape, disarmed of spectacle.

Skin, salt proposes stillness as a political gesture. To dwell in silence, to inhabit non-productivity, to dissolve into terrain rather than dominate it: this becomes a form of reclaiming space for the body and the land, away from exploitation.

What emerges is a visual diary that erases the postcard, erases the branding, and gestures toward another possibility: the island, and the body within it, existing otherwise.
