Atlantis The royal
A firmly established theme of 'The Journey to Water through the desert' was our starting point, creating this focus on the juxtaposition between fire and water, finding an oasis to retreat to in the desert. This theme brought strong hues of blue and orange to the forefront of the schemes as seen in the Podium Lift Lobby spaces. Areas of research in response to this theme were in bedouin traditions of sourcing water, Nabati and Emirati poetry and Wilfred Thesiger anthologies to ensure a culturally relevant narrative is woven throughout the artwork selection.
In addition to this, we celebrated the visual properties of water; movement, reflection, depth and colour throughout the whole artwork selection.
