Lowest Point on Earth is a project exploring the disappearance of a mythical body of water — the Dead Sea — believed to date back to the time of the prophet Lot. The project explores potential reasons for the disappearance of the sea and the impact its disappearance has had on the community in Ghor al-Safi as well as Jordan as a whole, a country grappling with severe water scarcity.
