The Desert Relics / Karim+Elias
Briefly

The Desert Relics draws inspiration from a selection of Mleiha's ancient relics, visually expressing the "unearthing of an artifact" through a variety of vessel-like geometries.
Twelve modular totems rise to monumental heights against the mountain backdrop - in the symbolic form of stacked vessel vases, a grand bejeweled necklace, or a set of ancient stones.
Each piece is unique in color and form, and like all ancient crafts, is fully handmade of and from the earth.
The permanent installation was unveiled at the 2024 Tanweer Festival to celebrate Mleiha's cultural heritage and rich desertscapes.
