The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the largest salt flat in the world. Once part of a prehistoric salt lake that covered much of Southwestern Bolivia, the lake dried up, leaving a massive layer of salt crust almost 12,000 feet above sea level covering over 4,000 miles. Photographer Scarlett Hooft Graafland took it upon herself to stage a series of beautiful photographs sets among the never-ending abyss of gleaming, white salt. The props include ordinary items such as balloons and cotton candy… providing some comic relief while attracting attention to environmental awareness all at once.
