Desert X AlUla
A treasure lies sparkling from a distance between seas of desert and mountains of engraved past. A treasure conveying philosophies of life and the balance between human existence and the untamable independence of nature, EARTH.
How, you may wonder.
Through the creation of artistic masterpieces, Desert X AlUla. Profound, purpose-driven artistic masterpieces. Epitomizing the meaning of granularity. Some reflecting their surounding, inspired by its very existence. Others, envisioned through the existence of nature and its forces, crafting artistry with the very nature. For without it, the art is incomplete. A place where the expression of international creative minds lies together amidst Saudi Arabian deserts.
As I walk through the desert valleys a gust of wind appears. The fine desert sand swirls up into the air as it sweeps innocently over the ground and through all that stands in its way. As it does, it leads way to the Whistle Blower, one of the artistic masterpieces.
One that, without nature, is incomplete. The dry wind blows by, glass bottles of which the Whistle Blower is crafted whisper into the serene desert silence, hollowing smooth tones through the rock formation crafted by the passage of time.
Mystic, yet somehow encompassing. Tell me, Whistle Blower, what knowledge do you behold that you strive to share with humanity?
I try to find my way to the next expression of an artistic mind, the sun guides me to a circle of vibrant colours. Its vivacious, outstanding colours mark the contrast between the earth-colored nature that surrounds us and human-crafted presence.
Yet who said that these colours are crafted by a human? For they are the colours of a rainbow, only to shine when the sun peaks through the specious clouds. It is Breathing Life – AlUla. Like a circle of life, one walks through this art and finds the world around one to be of a different dimension, for all that stands still in this very second turns into a spirited existence of unparalleled beauty.
A weird life, isn’t it? Oh no, I don’t mean that; I mean this right here. Inspired by the nature of AlUla, fused by the powerful creation of nature’s force, the Elephant Rock and the Dancing Rocks of AlUla are, among others, crafted into man-made art. An artist who chose to use the nature that surrounds her as her source of inspiration but also to blend it into nature’s existence. Camouflaged meticulously into the desert rocks, gleams to the vigilant eye man-made art, as its substances of different earth-colored tones conveys nothing else but the beauty of the reality we live in.
The beauty of the reality we live in. Alhamdulillah.
