Qattara Oasis
Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Abu Dhabi Art invites three established and well-known artists to create site-specific works in historic sites in Al Ain, one of them being Leandro Erlich who brings his work Nest, a cylindrical structure made with local stone that contains the glass sculpture of a cloud, to Abu Dhabi. This time taking inspiration from the Beehive Tombs of Jebel Hafeet while maintaining the ethereal, ineffable and immaterial sensation of a cloud, the work is a reminder of the sacred beyond the particularities of faith and time.
