Cultivating in Shallow Waters explores how production landscapes like the Messolonghi saltworks in Greece shape the countryside. Since 1500 AD, locals have managed a shallow lagoon with intricate water circulation to produce salt. This collective process relies on simple yet sophisticated systems, passed down through generations, reflecting urban patterns in a rural context.
