I always wondered who it was that turned around to see what happened to her, and why THEY were exempt from becoming salt.

Good question micsteel, and as for the work it is great work, except I keep having this image in my mind she should be more white, like the salt blocks put out for animals to lick on the farms... Although I could be very wrong! As however one may wish to create is up to them... As the "whiter" was just a passing thought. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very nice work. As to the question of why her and not others... The original text in hebrew conveys more of the meaning than in english (or most other modern languages). Lot's wife didn't just "glance" backwards at the city, she "looked longingly" back at it. Her heart was with her treasures and enjoying her sinful life there, not with obeying God. God wasn't punishing her on a whim, or for for just accidentaly looking back. He knew the desires in her heart, and He knew that she would bring those sinful desires with the family into the new plan God was bringing them to. He put an end to this before it had a chance to corrupt His plans by making her into a pillar, which was literally meant as an object lesson to the others who saw; Pillars/columns/piles of stones had this meaning in the culture.
