Installation Replaces Previous Work

The new commission takes the place of AKHU, which inaugurated the institution in 2021. This latest piece is part of Turrell's famed Ganzfeld series that uses uniform fields of light to challenge viewer perception.

Colors Modeled After Local Environment

Designers drew aquatic blues from the nearby sea and faded them into palm greens. The palette also includes peachy sunset oranges and pinks inspired by neon signs and Art Deco architecture around the city.

Effect Overwhelms Sense of Distance

White rooms soak viewers in light that overwhelms their perception of depth and distance. Subtle shifts in hue create surreal experiences regarding reality within the space.
