Happy to share new work for @suitcase Magazine vol. 38 flavour print issue where @gracefhlee and I travelled across the Dalmation Coast of Croatia to document both the historic and contemporary value of salt in the surrounding areas.
“Salt might be the most crucial agent of flavour we have on our tables today, but in days gone by it was the difference between being hungry or being fed. One of the pivotal developments in civilisation, its discovery as a food preservative during the early years of the Roman Republic elevated it from commodity to valuable currency – it was used to pay soldiers (hence the word “salary”), as well as exchanged for gold. Cut to centuries later, and the Venetian Empire – the whole economy of which was built on the salt trade – monopolised all saltworks along the Adriatic coast, including Solana Pag, which became responsible for more than 10 per cent of the empire’s entire economy.” Words by @gracefhlee
Special Thanks @emmajlventura @blandsdf and the rest of the suitcase team for commissioning us on these incredible assignments.
