In January 2024 local time, Dubai, UAE hosted a grand event - Dubai Festival of Lights. The festival attracts many tourists, and A Wasl Square has become a high-profile spot. In this square, visitors can enjoy the light art piece "The Taste of Memories" by Emirati artist Najat Makki.
This light installation uses high-tech means to bring people into the ocean of memories through the transformation of light and shadow and the matching of colors. Under the light, visitors seem to be able to feel the traces of time and the precipitation of history. This work is not just a simple art installation, but also a baptism of the soul, allowing people to re-examine their past and future.
The Dubai Festival of Lights, which runs until 4 February 2024, will feature seven large-scale light art installations by seven Emirati artists. Each of these installations has its own characteristics, ranging from abstract forms to a blend of light and shadow, while others capture the essence of Emirati culture through figurative imagery. The works of these artists not only reflect the cultural heritage of the UAE, but also perfectly combine Dubai's modern urban development with traditional culture.
In this festival of lights, visitors will not only be able to enjoy the beautiful light art installations, but also feel the hospitality of the Emirati people. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to showcase the cultural and technological prowess of the UAE to the world. It is believed that in the future, Dubai will continue to hold more similar events to let more people know about this beautiful city.
