Dead Sea Dress
By Mark Flippo
The Dead Sea, known for its mud and salty waters, has transformative properties. That’s the message from an art project by artist Sigalit Landau, who submerged a traditional 1920s-style Hasidic black dress into Israel’s hyper-saline lake in 2014 and kept it suspended in place using a synthetic net. As she took photos of the dress over the course of two months, the old-fashioned garment slowly became encrusted in salt crystals — until the entire dress was fully encased in a thick, salty, sparkling coating.
Such a great experiment. It brought a thought to my mind about how we are changed by being with Jesus who is the salt of the earth! How much does He change us? Do we look more and more like our Father? The above dress was originally black. Now it is white. Does that sound like a familiar change? Jesus not only changes our outside but our insides also! It takes time. Salt has healing powers to it. It preserves things also. Do you know someone that could benefit from being close to our Savior!
